Some other plugins are known not to play well with OTR.  I think
there's one that splits up your outgoing messages into smaller chunks,
for example?  Anyway, they intercept the message that's about to be sent
out (the _encrypted_ message), do something with it, and display *that*,
rather than displaying the message the user typed.
