I'm not complaining about people who spend time auditing security
software and finding these bugs making their discoveries known - even if
they are less than polite while doing so. (I myself am taking maximum
advantage of the opportunity to poke fun at ridiculous or borderline
fraudulent statements I've spotted during my literature review - it's
one of the few redeeming features of writing a PhD thesis.) They are
just as crucial as and even less appreciated than the developers.
Certainly if I get round to writing this code it will need their
attention.
What I don't like are people who do nothing except repeat something we
already know ("This software doesn't do X. People want it to do X.") but
louder and more rudely.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: empathy
Hello,
I just tried empathy (the Intrepid version) and it looked very solid and
stable. There were a few minor things that could be improved (e.g.
automatically resizing the contact list), but that is not the topic here.
The reason why I won't switch to empathy from pidgin is the missing OTR
support (http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ). This is a really important feature
because no one should read your messages.
There were others with the same idea (links at the bottom).
Would be so great if it could support that important encryption standard.
Thanks for helping out!
