Okay I've checked mine and it is set up to use the
Default OTR Settings. (Enable private messaging, and
Auto initiate private messaging are checked). 
Unfortunately the other contact isn't online right
now, but I'll have him check as soon as possible.

I think I could use the per-buddy setting as a work
around though.  If I set him to 'Require private
messaging' it should work.  I tried that earlier with
the global setting before I knew about the per-user
menu!
 
That being said, I'm still more that willing to try
any other suggestions to see what might be going on
here...
 
 Thanks,
 Kirk
