If you're using gaim as your client, otr works over the yahoo IM
network.  There have been problems reported with very long messages (in
the 1K range).  This stems from otr overhead that's added to the message
that you type.  Note that every network has this max message size issue.
A future version of lib-otr should handle fragmentation of long
messages, which will solve this problem.

If you don't use gaim, you're currently out of luck.  The localhost
proxy only works on the AIM/ICQ network right now.
