Got a nice little surprise yesterday when I [ge]mailed someone, and
moments later gaim beeps at me. Checking gaim, I see that suddenly
these users had been added to my gaim/gtalk buddies list without my

Anyway, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if somewhere down the
road a folder called "archived gtalk" shows up in gmail where you can
search through all your old conversations.
