Description

Problem: There are some members of my buddy list that when I go into an OTR chat with them, I really want the chat to be "off-the-record" and I'm not just using OTR because we both happen to have Adium. However, my conversation is not only on-the-record, but easily retrievable because in most cases at least one party is logging the conversation in unencrypted plaintext straight to their hard drive! This is not ideal.

Solution: Under the Advanced->Encryption Prefs 'Known Fingerprints' list, there should be a 3rd column added. This column should be a simple check box, that when activated will auto-disable logging of the encrypted chats with that person.

There are alternate methods of doing this, however I feel it makes the most intuitive sense to tie it to the encryption prefs.

What does everyone think?

Just a comment on this: I think it'd be a great option to have, but I submit that it should not be the default behavior... and also, that if Adium does disable logging for a user at any time during a conversation, it should put notes in the message window (much like the note about encryption being turned on or off) that explicitly says when logging is being disabled/re-enabled.
