Awesome update battbot!
Hopefully you can export / auto-archive the messages off locally. I'm sure it'll all come in due time.

I would also love a mobile app that can remote access / control my desktop wallet. That'll be cool.
Yes, the EM feature was designed to work with mobile apps and we already have one being worked on -- more details on this will come later.
A mobile wallet which supports EM and the other features of this update will be released shortly after we release the wallet this week.
Wow, that sounds awesome. I can't wait to have encrypted messaging on my phone! (Android right?)
