Are you saying that in this message <message> <body>?OTR:123123123</body> </message> the recipient is expected to decrypt 123123123 and treat the result as plain text, but in this message <message> <html xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im'> <body xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> ?OTR:456456456 </body> </html> the recipient is expected to decrypt 456456456 and treat the result as HTML? Or what? There must be a rule you can use to determine whether the decrypted content is text/plain or text/html. "Text that may contain HTML" is not a well-formed concept - either the message "<" is a 4 character reply to "remind me how you escape < in HTML?", or it's a single U+003C LESS- THAN SIGN character. It can't be both. It is entirely possible that the rule is "do whatever Pidgin does", which in practice probably means it's always treated as HTML - that's what my review comments assume. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 Title: empathy needs to support OTR encryption Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Invalid Status in Telepathy framework - library: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “libtelepathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Fedora: Won't Fix 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!
