Not sure if i am submitting this correctly, but here goes.

I was trying to paste a link using Pidgin for Windows.  i have OTR loaded.
When i turn off OTR, the link sends fine.  When i say off, i mean disabled
in the Plugins menu.  When i enable OTR again, as soon as i press Control V
to paste, it locks up pidgin.  Here is the link that i tried pasting:

----- begin link ------
http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9918198-54.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20
----- end link --------

i am guessing it somehow screws with the way that OTR detects if am IM is
trying to go secure or not.  But since i have no idea how OTR really works
on the inside, i cant really be sure.

I was going to post this on the Pidgin bugtracker website, but since i
realized it was OTR causing it, i figured i would start here.  i appologize
if this is not the correct location.

thanks, Keith.
