I was pondering with the idea to use the WoT or an existsing OpenPGP key
for fingerprint checking.  No concrete design, though.

I'd personally prefer having a real OpenPGP plugin for gpg,...
Wouldn't that be the real solution?


Cheers,
Chris.

Not really.  OTR uses DHKEA for symmetric key negotiation.  This is an 
interactive protocol: you send some information, the other person sends some 
information back, back-and-forth a few times until a symmetric key emerges from 
the mathemagic.

Email is not an interactive protocol.  You could probably invent a way to do 
OTR via email, but it would probably be a horrible kludge.
