FYI

I just tested a bit more.

It works with people who are -not- otr enabled and use the AIM network
with an tryllian client for windows.

It also works for people who are -not- otr enabled and use the AIM
network and adium client under OSX.

The person of the screenshot that could not 'talk back' uses iChat and AIM.

Aldert.
