I'm not a coder, but OTR is out there, works, and plays well with others. They really ought to make it work in empathy, one way or another. Perhaps there is a new bug that people might pay attention to, given the emphasis on crypto these days?

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!
