Hello :)

Just a suggestion for owl... implement a feature that logs outgoing
messages only.

This would be helpful, I think, for logging messages when you're logged
into multiple computers.  For example, I leave owl continually running in
my dorm room.  When I come into the ofice to work, though, I start up owl,
since owl is more convenient to use than zwgc.

If I enable logging, incoming messages are logged twice, and outgoing
messages are logged.

If I disable logging, incoming messages are logged only once, but outgoing
messages are not logged at all.

If I disable logging in my dorm room, then messages between the time I am
there and in the office are not logged at all.

Having a separate outgoing logging only option would solve this problem.
