-------------------------------+-----------------
 I am unable to connect to my IRC proxy using Tor Messenger. bip is able to
 use a single proxy server for multiple networks. The network selection is
 done at login time using the network password.

 I'm not sure what's not working with Tor Messenger. The connection phase
 never completes. I see a new window with the following message:

 > The following message received from b.i.p was not encrypted: You should
 type /QUOTE PASS your_username:your_password:your_connection_name

 Is Tor Messenger properly sending passwords for IRC?

 (This works just fine with Pidgin.)
