The image's data, size, etc. are inserted into the message..... but the message is encoded, so such a tag isn't found, and images can not be sent.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>A similar situation exists on the receiving side, where the prpl processes the incoming message, looking for <img> tags to convert to the gaim img store and their corresponding IDs but sees only the gibberish of an encrypted message.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">As I mentioned, this is <I>not</I> specific to the gaim-otr implementation but rather a result of how the signals are set up. One solution I've come up with is giving the prpl a chance to modify the outgoing message before it is sent to plugins via a signal, and similarly call the prpl for final post-processing of incoming messages after the first signal is sent when receiving a message.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thoughts?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Cheers,</DIV><DIV>Evan</DIV><DIV>www.adiumx.com</DIV></BODY></HTML>
