[OTR-users] libotr/pidgin-otr 4.0.0 "beta2" release and win32 build

[Doug Breaux]

Neither of our Yahoo names are long. 7 and 10 characters. Colleague is 
not online right now, and I had reverted to previous plugin since new 
one had begun failing to establish a private connection at all. Perhaps 
due to this testing or maybe to the fact that we were going back and 
forth between Gtalk and Yahoo IDs.

I'll reinstall and try things when he's available again.
