OTR encrypted messages will contains html tags

received otr-encrypted messages with html markup will be rendered raw, unformatted, with html tags.

The plugin ignores the html part of the message stanza. It decrypts the body tag (which is text/plain per definition) and displays it without further formatting.

The pidgin-otr plugin is known to encrypt the text/html message and put the ciphertext in the body tag, which is probably a bug.

I have the same issue with contacts that use pidgin and adium clients.

Documentation says that encrypted message may contain HTML markup http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/Protocol-v2-3.1.0.html "The plaintext message (either before encryption, or after decryption) consists of a human-readable message (encoded in UTF-8, optionally with HTML markup)"

pidgin-otr is something like a reference implementation of OTR. At least it is available from the official OTR site.

Corresponding adium bug: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/6901 "Adium's behavior here is correct: OTR messages have to be encoded with UTF-8 and may contain HTML markup. If other clients show these tags literally, then those clients need to be fixed."

Adding attachement

I've added a ugly patch for the html problematic.

Can someone please verify my patch (both for receiving HTML enabled and disabled)? I don't have any misbehaving users in my contact list.

updated

Patch didn't work. I've fixed the issues and uploaded to the plugin repository. Sorry for the confusion. Let me know if this works for you.

I've updated to latest git version. It seems that now otr plugin "eats" newline characters in incoming messages. It is probably an incorrect processing of "\<br />" tag
