There's an obvious counterexample to that solution, which I've noticed
before. I have an AIM contact who uses Adium most of the time, and in
those conversations, OTR works perfectly. But sometimes (not sure why)
she uses the official AIM client, and so our conversations aren't
protected. Your feature would prevent us from talking when that happens.

As long as there's a way to do it without a dialog, that sounds OK. One
of my favourite features of newer gaim-otr versions is that there are
very few dialog boxes to get in the way of my conversations.
