Thanks for the reply and update!
I just tried a merge of 3 months and it looks like there are 2 problems. 1. It only used the first month. 2. Something happens during the merge (doesn't happen with decrypt alone) to the first line, and there is no HTML formatting. It shows in the examples below
Here's an example of the original PLE log:
code:

[04:26:47 PM] B- ALL ABOOO: i dunno i just woke up after like 13
hours
[04:26:55 PM] I promise no: i just woke up too!
After merging, only the one month is shown and it looks like this in notepad
code:

The top line is different. The headers after this one are identical to the original though.
Opening the original in wordpad is identical to notepad. But this file produced from the merge operation (the code above) looks different in wordpad. I can't even copy it into this window because it must have invisible characters in it, but this is how it appears by my typing it out:
code:
. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (continues)
| S e s s i o n S t a r t (header continues)
[ 0 4 : 2 5 : 3 6 P M ] I p r o m i s e n o : m o r n i n g : )
I hope that makes sense to you.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but my logs have almost the same modify date, because I encrypted them all using another tool found in these forums.
