Hi, I am a developer on Google Talk and Gmail. We are working on a JEP proposal and will send it out soon. -Jon <div>On 2/7/06, Peter Saint-Andre <<a href="mailto:stpeter@jabber.org">stpeter@jabber.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Remko Troncon wrote: >> Not sure at all; it just looks vaguely like 0136 since it's >> server-side, and it's possible for a client to disable the logging. > > Well, it's not JEP-136 :-) All the client can do is enable/disable it, but > the server does all the logging itself.

AFAIK this feature is something the client can enable or disable on a per-contact basis ("don't log this conversation, please"). Also I think this is something that would be supported (or not) by both servers if the parties are on separate domains, so if I say "disable logging" my server would ask the other server to do the same. But I'll let the Google guys describe it more, since I don't know all the details.
