[OTR-users] Is there any way to prevent the "You attempted to send an unencrypted message" dialog?

[Jason Cohen]

Do you mean to suggest that on trying to send a message when there
isn't a key setup to

  try to set up key
  if ok, send message encrypted
  if fail, tell user message was not sent

instead of

  point out policy
  try tot set up key
  if ok, send message encrytped

Yes, that's precisely what I mean to say. The user changed the default setting to require encrypted messaging. There's no reason to point out the policy every time he attempts to send a message, and there's nothing insecure about waiting until the session is setup to then send the message encrypted. 

So, if ALWAYS is set do this:

(user sends message)
Setup Key Exchange
If ok, send message encrypted
If fail, tell user that the message was not sent + recipient does not have OTR installed and can't setup private communications.
