Package: pidgin
Version: 2.7.3-1+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Hello,
thank you for maintaining pidgin.
When receving an unencrypted message from a contact with which I had an
open OTR conversation before, pidgin does not notify me of the new
message.
Here is the scenario that I'm going through at least once every 3 days
and drives me completely mad:
1. I begin the morning with an encrypted OTR conversation with an
important person;
2. The important person goes to work, where she doesn't have OTR;
3. The important person sends me important messages from work;
4. The important person phones me very angry because I'm not replying
to her messages;
5. I look into pidgin's conversation window and I find something like
this:
(14:25:32) The following message received from [email protected] was not
encrypted: [how's the situation today?]
(15:12:34) The following message received from [email protected] was not
encrypted: [ping?]
(15:34:56) The following message received from [email protected] was not
encrypted: [you seem to be online, why are you not replying to me?]
(15:45:54) The following message received from [email protected] was not
encrypted: [ehi?]
(15:54:45) The following message received from [email protected] was not
encrypted: [are you there?]
(16:12:34) The following message received from [email protected] was not
encrypted: [I am very upset, I'll phone you now!]
I'm fine in having to read messages inside verbose error messages in
this kind of situation, but pidgin should at the very least notify me
that a message has arrived.
Ciao,
Enrico
