An excellent suggestion, maybe explicitly disallow automatic remote
logging if a particular preference is set and have a default of No while
allowing Yes and Always (and perhaps Never if you're the trusting
kind). Again in the decide-per-conversation mode there could be a
checkbox on the conversation window to set this on the fly. Or maybe a
pop-up before the conversation window opens if either local or remote
logging is to be selectable per conversation.
