Yes, something like that - although detecting that it's just the policy, and
saying something like 'plugin is inactive for this contact' would be ideal.

Yes that's what i pass in. In miranda there aren't different accounts - only
different protocols. It is possible to have e.g. two MSN 'accounts' but you
do that using a 'hack' - i.e. you copy the msn.dll plugin to msn2.dll or the
like, and miranda treats it as a seperate protocol. So, in the plugin there
is only one account - i called it OTR, since i didn't think it'd make a
difference. What I meant to point out is, since the username is passed into
that function also, shouldn't the username be used in this message?
