Hi Peter,<br><br>I experience those issues when using pigin+otr for instant messaging on yahoo. As far as I know, it is not based on XMPP.<br>I will try to register on an XMPP based messenger to test it there as well though it is a pity especially when long messages get lost due to the connection being lost at either end of the conversation without receiving a single confirmation message.<br>

</div></div>IMHO the OTR layer is the wrong place to be building in reliability.<br>
In XMPP, we depend on TCP but also have built a stream-level<br>
reliability layer:<br>

Do you experience these problems on an XMPP system, or on AOL or<br>
another proprietary IM system like that?<br>
