Eh, from what I've heard, AIM's built-in encryption is nothing to  
write home about nor possibly even to write gaim-devl about.  IANAC,  
though.  Either way, even if we implement AIM's solution, that  
doesn't mean that (a) people won't still want to use the less- 
configuration, documented-protocol, etc. OTR solution, (b) other,  
similar solutions won't come up in the future, and (c) Sametime and  
any other prpl that needs pre/post prpl-level message processing will  
be fixed.

It may be some time before I have a chance to fix it, so if someone  
else wants to work on it feel free -- but I'll look into a clean,  
minimally invasive solution in the not too distant future.
