Title:
Message History Dump File
Summary:
An option to save your entire message history to a plain text file on your hard drive.
Details:
A button within the messages menu that allows you to save a text file to your hard drive that contains the complete message history for that character.
What would need to be added would be a button (or link) to activate the download option and the code that would take the message history and turn it into an output text file.
Alternative variations could include an extra option to download the message history of all your characters rather than having to do each one individually. Or a tick box that would send an email at set intervals with the message history for that time period.
Benefits:
Many times messages are lost to the ether simply because we didn't save them somewhere once they were done. With a lot of them that doesn't really matter but sometimes there will be really good RPs or important treaties and then, a month later when you want to refer to those you realise that they've been lost forever because a cut and paste and save wasn't done. This feature would make it a lot easier to ensure all these messages are archived in some form or another.
Possible Exploits:
People could create false message and claim them as real because they're from this archive (but false message can and are made anyway so this would be no different).
People might share the files as a lazy way of spying.
Some malicious code could get added into the download option causing issues on the computer you download to (I know we're really secure, but it is a potential...)
