Unfortunately it has not. Note that unless you enable base64 encoding you may be losing some information by serializing/deserializing stuff via XML as certain characters that can occur inside your logging message may not be legal XML characters and get replaced by a "?" (actually, a configurable character) via XmlLayout. Those characters are rare (everything outside of [\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD]) but it is something to keep in mind. Stefan
