So you have a client that supports blowfish, and when you turn it on, it
properly sends out the CTCP saying "do this".  Of course, only those other
users on the channel that actually support that CTCP will *do* it.

Have everybody on the channel upgrade their software.  There's no way a client
that doesn't support crypto can encrypt the channel messages....
