[OTR-users] "Automatically initiate private messaging" doesn't work

[Alexander Buchner]

It's the jabber/xmpp network. Since I have no experience in packet 
capturing, I googled a bit. Can I use "Wireshark" to capture the packets in 
the way you would like to see them? I hope so, it looks simple. When my 
friend comes online, I will capture the packages.

In which way should I provide the data in eMails to mailing lists? Are 
normal attachments ok, or pasted as text into the eMail?
