Description
Allowing editing of chat history is a great feature, but only when executed well. Currently, it is possible to go back in time and edit my messages changing the context of prior conversations, the only indicator being the "Edited" flag on the message. What would be awesome would be if Keybase preserved and exposed prior versions of the message to ensure that editing is not abused.
