"require_encryption" silently drops messages #48

When the require_encryption policy is on, the first message sent to a contact is lost, even if the OTR connection is subsequently established.
If the contact is offline, all the messages sent to that contact are silently dropped (and being replaced with a query-message to the offline contact).

This is most likely just a usability bug, as I'm not sure there is a consistent way to re-send a message (or all the messages?) as soon as the OTR connection is established (we would have to depend on the trust status etc).
But it is a bug nonetheless.

it would be awesome to queue unencrypted messages while waiting for the otr session to stablish :)

though this is a problem with every otr capable client i know, either they chomp the first messages or they send them unencrypted
