Nothing hidden about how Plus! opens an encrypted log though:
When you double click on a encrypted log in Windows Explorer, Messenger Plus! asks you for the password.
It then decrypts the data in the log and saves the decrypted data as a new log in your temporary windows directory.
It then starts Notepad (or whatever texteditor you've set to open it with) with that temporary saved decrypted textfile.
After you've done with and you closed notepad, the tempoary file is deleted.
-------------------
The error you got from notepad indicates that there is something wrong with the filename of that temporary log. Which seems very strange as the filename of that log is always in the form "
blah@blah.com {decrypted}.txt". In other words, no characters are used which could be invalid for a filename.
Just to try it out, try to totally disable, exit and close the whole ZoneAlarm thing and/or any other "security" thingie you might have. Thus including viruschecks, on the fly scanning, firewall, etc. etc. and try again.
