Would it be possible to change all crypto plugins (OTR and GPG) to pass the 
messages as plaintext to History, but change the History plugin to store them 
encrypted with GPG?

It would probably take some re-architecting of the plugins to get the common 
GPG code into one place, but that way all History output would be encrypted 
with the users GPG key and would be kept "safe".  Of course, this would break 
the "deniability" feature of OTR and pretty much defeat the purpose.


One other thing I thought I would point out is in the TOOLKIT section of 
http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/README-libotr-3.0.0.txt

"This toolkit is useful for analyzing and/or forging OTR
messages.  Why do we offer this?  Primarily, to make absolutely sure
that transcripts of OTR conversations are really easy to forge after the
fact."

Doesn't this imply that you could keep a log of your conversation and still be 
able to decode it?  They wouldnt be secure anymore, but it sounds like OTR's 
focus is ensuring safe communication during not after.  I could be 
misunderstanding this though.
