Apart from the few things/bugs you've already encountered, there are quite a lot more things which this script will probably 'crash' upon. And many of those things depend on user's settings at the time the log was created (also meaning it is very hard to get those settings so that the script is configured properly). Making it very hard to make an universal converter for stuff like this. That is: it is relativly easy to make a personal converter for one user, but it will probably not work for another user as-is.
You're right. I was able to Google search for Messenger Plus! text chat logs (for research), and I have found a couple chat logs that people had posted publicly.
For example, one chat log had "
8 มกราคม 2548" for its "Session Start" in the header.
What kind of date is that? I have no idea.
(Looks like the forums converted the characters to HTML code literally. You'll have to paste them into an HTML file or click on the Google search result for the date to view them.)
If someone donates some more examples or posts unexpected and expected results, maybe I could make it work better.

I searched but didn't find any. If it exists, it would be cool if someone knows where it is.
