Sound like the 'undelete' did not worked properly.
Not all files which are deleted can be recovered properly. In fact, if you did something on your PC after you've lost/deleted the file the chances are extremely high that you can't recover the file anymore to its full.
The reason is that the computer will re-use space which was first occupied by existing files. Since it was deleted, that space became available again for the PC to use.
Not all programs which claim to be able to recover files are able to do so. It very highly depends on what you did with your PC (more specifically with the harddisk the file was on) afterwards.
Even if some recover tool says it has recovered the file, it is not always sure that the real contents of that file are recovered.
What probably happened is that the space used by that file has been re-used. So what you see is not the encrypted contents of a chat log but some data from some other file (which might have been deleted also).

See my previous post. Open the file with the Log Viewer of Messenger Plus!. If the file is a valid, non-currupted encrypted Messenger Plus! log then the Log Viewer will be able to open it (if you know the password).
If the Log Viewer says it can't open it, then it isn't a log file (highly likely).
