Is there anything wrong with http://GAIM-Encryption.sourceforge.net ?

Thats all I use (after regenerating the key pair to 4096 that is
[never broke encryption before, and I am not all that good at math, so
I am not sure how effective of a deterrent this is])

If both participants have the latest version of PGP Desktop
installed, it will transparently proxy and encrypt the session (AIM
works, but I'm not sure about the other big ones).  It does the
same for SMTP/POP/IMAP as well and works surprisingly well.  It's
not cheap, though :(

i won't use any I-M system except jabber.  the idea of sending my
text
through somebody else's server, especially yahoo/microsoft/google/aol
who will do adword searches and data mining / list appending,
makes me
want to lunge for the circuit breaker.  yet millions of people do
this,
even the mostly-otherwise-smart ones who attend ietf/nanog/arin
meetings
and bring their mac/os/x laptops and think nothing of talking about
customer proprietary information via their iChat clients.  ick,
ick, ick.
