Re: [Gaim-e-developer] gaim-e roadmap

On #4, I agree in part.  Except I believe the person
who goes away should automatically turn off
encryption.  If you aren't in front of your computer,
you shouldn't have encrypted messages open.  
The other person could always start another encrypted
session, and those messages will queue on your side.
But I wouldn't want a window open where messages can
be read by anyone walking by.
