Private bug reported:

Affects: beagle (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
~/.beagle/Log/*-Beagle contains stuff like my whole mail folder
hierarchy, and search terms I entered into the GUI app. I don't know if
the login name for my mail provider along with the server's address is
ok either.

Examples:
060330 2130023543 06522 Beagle DEBUG: Will index summary /home/mario/.evolution/mail/imap/mario at localhost/folders/INBOX/subfolders/Forums_infos/summary
060330 2130023545 06522 Beagle DEBUG: Overall percent is 0

060324 1916203697 15732 Beagle DEBUG: Parsed query '<searchterm edited
out>' as text_query

The permissions of ~/.beagle seem to be set to 700 by default, however the beaglewiki asks to include the log files in bug reports.
http://beaglewiki.org/Troubleshooting

It would seem courteous to the user to assume he won't scan a huge
logfile before attaching to a bug report.

I'm setting this bug to confidential because I'm afraid unedited log
files might be attached to other reports on beagle
