i dont really like the stuffplug workaround as that will log 2 timestamps... one with seconds one without... i will look into the registry hack for html logs thanks for that (I assume those registry settings also work for msgplus non-live? the old page which showed the registry settings for msgplus non-live doesn't seem to work anymore... is there a thread which has it all?)... i know it puts the seconds automatically for text logs tho... this is what i've been using ever since but i want to switch to html now cos it includes the emoticons and looks nice.
the save by email button is the one selected... but that still archives it into separate files.. for eg "C:\Documents\My Chat Logs\blah@msn.com" will contain files "January 2007.html", February 2007.html", etc
in plus non-live u had the option of no archiving... so what happens is in "C:\Documents\My Chat Logs" u'd have a single file "blah@msn.com.html" for history since the first time u ever chatted with that person.
as for the offline msging thing... thats the only feature that i like about WLM... but that doesn't outweigh all the other missing stuff that i love about 7.5+plus+sp2
edit: oops silly me msgplus non-live doesn't log in html
