How do I print or even access my instant message history?

[Jonathan Kay [MVP]]

Greetings Taja,

No Windows Messenger version currently has support for a message history (besides using a
third-party tool like Messenger Plus, http://www.msgplus.net). If you're referring to MSN
Messenger 6's message history, firstly make sure that it's on, then open up the main
Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Options, click the Messages tab, and make sure
that "Automatically keep a history of my conversations" is checked. Then to view someone's
history, in any conversation window, click the File menu, and choose Open Message History.
In the Message History window to print, simply press Ctrl-P on your keyboard.

Hi Jonathan!

After some time, some of my files grew quite a bit and i was prompted to
save them.
I did so, but, what's the application to open them? They are xml and I don't
want dreamweaver to do it ;)
Thanks

Guille

Hi Guille,

You can just open them in Internet Explorer (make sure you copy the MessageLog.xsl file in
the same folder as the logs).
