[OTR-users] Gaim plugin and archiving

Hi ,

first of all a big thanks to the developers for their work.
I just installed the gaim-otr package on ubuntu and it works like charm.

There is one small issue IMHO with the handling of gaim's logging
feature.

If an unsuspecting user uses the plugin and has the logging option
activated,
the private OTR conversations will be archived as well in clear text, 
breaking forward secrecy.

Sure it's possible to disable the logging manually, but would it be hard
to add an option allowing to disable the logging of OTR conversations
even if the rest of the conversation is being logged ?

Thanks for your feedback....

	Didier
