Package: hexchat-otr
Version: 0.2.1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I was using the hexchat OTR plugin. After connected with a person via
OTR the messages were sent encrypted just fine but then I decided to
use IRC's /ME command and send a message with that and the message was
not encrypted with OTR. There was no warning about that the message
would have been sent unecrypted and some confidential information
could have leaked. If it is not possible to encrypt /ME messages with
OTR maybe there is possibility to give a warning to the user before
sending the message?

Regards,
Joonas Kylmälä
