Hi, I love the feature on MSN that reminds you of what you were last talking about.

But to use this you have to have MSN chat logs on, The problem is these are not password protected.

Is there anyway of adding a password to them
No

Almost inpossible to do (concearning you also want to combine this with password protection).

This is because each logged convo can have its own password. A plugin (or Messenger Plus! itself for that matter) can not know what password was used to encrypt the log, thus it also can't apply the password automatically. In other words, it would ask you each time, thus totally defeating the purpose of this plugin...

Furthermore, the encryption/decryption of the Messenger Plus! logs is only known by Patchou; a plugin can't decrypt encrypted logs on its own, it needs to let Messenger Plus! do that...

It would only automatically work in a specific situation where you always used the same password. In that case the plugin could do it, but the methods used would be rather crappy IMO as you need to let Messenger Plus! do the encryption, then obtain the temporary decrypted file and the lines you want, then kill the output window (by default notepad) which Messenger Plus! will produce to show the decrypted log. This all takes time, and by that time the user might as well already closed the convo window again, etc... etc... there are lots of issues with this method...

In short, no, unless Patchou himself adds this as a feature to Messenger Plus!...
