All of this kind of behavour is crap.. if encyrption is selected they should either encrypt, or refuse ot work at all if there is a problem with a big error message telling you exactly why it doesn't work, not just silently disabling encryption on you. an apparently minor upgrade on psi recently seemed to completely break, or at least change its method of encryption with pretty much no documentation or instruction on how to fix it.

Although it looks like a bit of a hack. Apparently you can use windows, trillian and otr together as well. Although it looks like a bit of a hack.

Everything is sent and stored in plain text. Also, that is great for Jabber users, but what about MSN, Yahoo, AOL, ICQ, Novell, and other proprietary protocol users who want to use encryption. What about the Jabber users who use the legacy transports to connect to those protocols. There are more concerns than just "use SSL". While I am just using Jabber, and SSL may be an option outside of Gmail, this doen't help the millions of other IM users.

Jabber, of course, supports SSL-based encryption nativey. Why are you concerned about encryption plugins if all you're using is Jabber - which supports encryption natively? I'm confused.
