Yes, that's what pidgin-otr does as well. That's because all received messages needs to be parsed by OTR first because it will catch message starting with "?OTR?" because when receiving that it means the other side wants to start an OTR session. In that case the message is considered as internal OTR protocol message and it returns ignore=true so we don't dispaly that to the user. We could avoid passing sending messages to OTR when session is not started indeed. I didn't do that because OTR will just return a copy of the initial message so it doesn't change anything (just wasting CPU cycles), and I prefer not adding any conditions to make damn sure we never have the case where we send something that didn't got encrypted first. > Also, shouldn't we use it only for contact channels? I don't think OTR can be used on MUC, or at least that's out of scope for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 Title: empathy needs to support OTR encryption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/296867/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
