Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

Pidgin has a nice feature: all IM / chats can be saved as TEXT, (not html or xml), so we can grep in the logs for some regexps etc.
Epiphany seems to have no such option. Messages are stored in XML. Of course this gives the option to format the xml afterwards, however, plain text should be an option, too, specially as we already have this in pidgin.

there is bug #530222 which is about a broken copy paste feature. could these two be related? as pidgin allows nicely formatted text and rich text messages going in a log file or which can be copied to another window, no matter if this is a rich text google mail, or openoffice, or a plain text gedit window.

It's a must have feature for IM clients to save chat logs in plain text/rich text/html format. I would like to see this feature in further update.
