• We could add send-only text channels, which you can always Create regardless of whether there's another channel going on. No incoming messages are reported by them; you can just call SendMessage(). MessageSent fires on the send-only channel, as probably do delivery reports for the messages you send on that channel. Incoming messages don't show up.
From IRC discussion today: this seems like the least crazy option of the three. One quirk is that EnsureChannel() without WriteOnly: True should never return one of these write-only channels.
Another quirk is: if you send a message on a write-only channel, and you've got a normal channel to the same contact open and being displayed in a conversation window, what happens?
› MessageSent is only emitted on the write-only channel. An observer can still log it, but it won't show up in the conversation window unless the logging observer signals the conversation window out-of-band. › MessageSent is emitted on both channels. The observer now has to de-duplicate, but the message will definitely be shown in the conversation window.
I'd be inclined to go for the second way, unless we want to go down the path of handlers getting all their messages from the log, rather than from signals on the channel. (Which is not necessarily a bad path, but is another can of worms.)
