[OTR-dev] 'manual' + whitespace start ake?

[Evan Schoenberg]

Scott,

You've come to the exact same conclusion I did with the same  
rationale.  Adium's "manual" mode is actually defined as:
/* OTRL_POLICY_MANUAL doesn't let us respond to other users'  
automatic attempts at encryption.
  * If either user has OTR set to Automatic, an OTR session should be  
begun; without this modified
  * mask, both users would have to be on automatic for OTR to begin  
automatically, even though one user
  * _manually_ attempting OTR will _automatically_ bring the other  
into OTR even if the setting is Manual.
  */
#define OTRL_POLICY_MANUAL_AND_REPOND_TO_WHITESPACE	 
( OTRL_POLICY_MANUAL | \
													  OTRL_POLICY_WHITESPACE_START_AKE | \
													  OTRL_POLICY_ERROR_START_AKE )
