Comment 15 for bug 296867

I consider Telepathy to be completely broken for my purposes unless it interoperates properly with OTR on other clients. If you want to do a better version of OTR with deniability in XMPP, go right ahead. Just make sure that the old way still works.

Adium having built in OTR support has been a fantastic boon.

I will discourage everybody I know from using Empathy and uninstall it on systems I administrate until this is fixed. This should have been thought of in the very beginning and been a feature in the program since its inception. Bad security is unforgivable.

You treating this as a low priority bug tells me a whole lot about what kinds of things the Empathy development team thinks is important, and good security is apparently not an important consideration.
