Personally, I think it's easier to just assume everyone is logging everything unless you <i>certainly</i> know otherwise.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 7:52 AM, Ian Goldberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ian@cypherpunks.ca" target="_blank">ian@cypherpunks.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>There's unfortunately no secure way to do this. The other party can<br>
always tweak his/her software to lie. And if it's not secure, I<br>
wouldn't want to display a possibly false fact to the user. (At best we<br>
could say something like, "Bob claims not to be logging this<br>
conversation.", but that's really clunky.)<br>
