Feature request: Support for Off-The-Record (OTR) encryption #8

I would be nice, if sendxmpp could encrypt sent messages with OTR. An increasing number of Jabber clients use OTR in order to ensure confidentiality between message sender and recipient. Especially when a server automatically sends messages possibly with sensitive system details, it would be good if only the admin could read these messages.

libotr might be useful here (in Debian wheezy you can currently install libotr5).

For OTR reading Jabber messages is required. It was not implemented in old sendxmpp. I wrote simple sendxmpp2 and now we are able to send jabber messages in both directions. So OTR support can be the next step.
