Hmm, personally I would expect encrypted stuff to be logged encrypted too,
just like encrypted mails are stored encrypted in your Sent Items folder.

The history viewer should then do the decrypting through the filters that
the
chat windows uses too.


That is not possible because the encryption key is only valid during the
chat session .
One possibility would be to inform the user when he enables an otr chat
session that history logs the messages. If he don't want that he could
disable the history plugin. What do you think?

Note the "would" and "should" though. It's not the way things are now, as
far
as I remember, just the way I think is the best and most secure for the
future.
