[OTR-dev] [OTR-users] [bug] Pidgin does not notify of new unencrypted messages while encrypting

[Byrd, Brendan]

I've been requesting that this gets fixed for some time now.  See:

Len White wrote a patch to fix the problem, but his compiled binaries seem to crash on my laptop for some reason.

Given that it's already been reported on this ML and Debian's bug list, it would be nice to get an official patch out the door.

Was browsing the list archives and stumbled over this. I see that in cvs/git 
the libotr API has changed quite a bit already, pushing the text of these 
messages out of the library and making it the plugin's responsibility to 
handle them. Seems like that's a good idea.

I noticed that the git master for pidgin-otr has been adapted to this already, 
and it also has an additional "force_create" option added to the 
otrg_dialog_display_otr_message() function. It seems to me that's a bit 
wasteful and this should be a generic "flags" argument instead, with one value 
reserved for force_create, and another value to e.g. declare that the message 
should be treated as a PURPLE_MESSAGE_RECV instead of the default of 
PURPLE_MESSAGE_SYSTEM. That would allow the plugin to write the offending 
message as a normal message, and give the notification that the bug filers' 
are looking for.
