Re: The messenger service is ready to use

Hi Karl,

so basically a feature like exporting a stream of messages into a file,
transporting the file via any external media and importing the messages
from the file to a peer would help, right?

I think that's possible to integrate because messages get verified with
the senders identity key pair (ego) rather than using the key pair from
a certain peer.

I would think a feature like this could be implemented together with a
function to backup chats into external files. Theoretically this is
already possible because I have structured the storage in multiple
directories which allows quite individual access for such a task but a
good UI would definitely help.
