Is Kopete scriptable?

I'm trying to get kopete certified for use within my company. Before I go digging in the code can anyone tell me if any actions (dcop, e.g.) can be activated upon receiving a message? Mgmt wants to protect against scenarios such as receiving an IM from an AOL user and having it automatically (and possibly unknown to the recipient) either cause harm to files on the computer or possibly pull information from addresses/emails.

I need to find out if kopete is scriptable in any way.

thanks

Even if Kopete allows some user script to be invoked on incoming messages, I doubt it would treat the message as a script.

Thiswould be just plain stupid.

I agree; if kopete ran an incoming message that would be brain-dead. I do need to find out if any incoming message can trigger program code.

Might depend on kiosk settings, but you better ask on the kopete mailinglist or IRC channel
