Changes suggested by Gregory Maxwell <gmaxwell at gmail.com>:
- Added a more sensible error message in the event that we receive our
own OTR Key Exchange messages. This means either we're talking to
ourselves, or someone is reflecting our messages back to us.
- This should be considered an experimental feature: If we're about to
send a plaintext message to a correspondent for whom we've got a
fingerprint, append a special (whitespace) OTR tag sequence. The
other side (if in fact running OTR) will recognize it and start a Key
Exchange. But if he replies without starting a Key Exchange, stop
appending the whitespace.
That first message will still go in the clear, of course, and this
will only work if both ends support it (i.e. upgrade to this version)
http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ for the source, deb, or rpm versions.
Particularly, I'd like to know what you think of the whitespace thing.
