Encryption support
Last modified: 2014-10-19 13:30:34 UTC
Hi! I think, encryption in IM is an important feature. I prefer GPG encryption, because it is easier to use when having multiple devices. But OTR should also be supported. I know, that encryption should be included in the XMPP protocol, but it isn't. So don't rely on it. Even Pidgin has a 3rd party plugin for GPG, and it works fine.
