The problem with starting a new session is that: you're starting a new session. You can't read messages delivered on the previous session to the other device, for one, and once you switch back to that...

Never had a problem with sessions, a properly configured client starts them automatically. And why would I want to read the messages on all my devices? It kind of defeats the purpose of end-to-end...

@Eierkopp: can you explain what exactly you did to make OTR work? I'd like to give it a try myself (and maybe other people want to try as well).
