You do recall correctly; this is how logging works for the Outlook  
plug-in.

:)  The source still has comments about switching to a "proper"  
logging system some day.  It might be just that it's what I'm used  
to, but I prefer finding the 'log' in the trace collector to log  
files while I'm working on things (admittedly, not often these days),  
just as I prefer that sb_server.py outputs to stdout if run in a  
console rather than to the log files it otherwise uses.  If you want  
a 'good' reason, then the best I can think of is that it's quicker to  
open the trace collector (assuming that one is working in PythonWin)  
than navigate all the way to the data directory.
