pidgin-otr has a configuration to disable logging in the plugin preferences.
This configuration appears to be disabled by default, so that conversations
will be logged by default.

The whole point of Off-the-Record is to avoid keeping a record of
conversations, so this default is wrong, insecure.

That's not the whole point of OTR. See http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/
and http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/otr-codecon.pdf
It's perfectly valid to log OTR conversations since whatever is logged
can be denied.

Hi Thibaut,

I've seen you've tagged this bug `upstream' a while ago,
but I see no mention of this bug being forwarded to them.

Was it?

(FWIW, I agree this is a wishlist.)

Cheers,
