correctly.<br>

Frankly, I care not a single whit what happens with HTML, and I don't<br>
see why anyone should put any effort into its handling until everything<br>
else works properly.</blockquote><div> </div><div>Complaints about HTML handling are easily the most common problem reported by users of my OTR plugin - even though it does follow everyone's interpretation of the spec depending on the other plugins in use. If you're using a messenger that handles HTML natively then you may well not care - it won't affect you. But there are a lot of people out there whom it does affect, and in many ways this is the single biggest problem with using and supporting the OTR library.<br>
<br>What is this 'everything else' that you're referring to? The other serious problem in my mind is the need for a 'i'm going offline now' message, another feature of the OTR protocol - as I mentioned earlier this just isn't possible with Miranda's plugin API, and there are a bunch of other reasons why it's a very bad idea...but that's another story<br>
