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.
