The thing is that if it's saved as text and not encrypted, anyone can open the file with NotePad or WordPad. Just because the extension is different doesn't mean no program can open it.

However, if that MPL file was encoded so that ONLY the Messenger Plus! Log Viewer could decode it and show the text, then no one could open it with NotePad or WordPad to edit it, unless they find another way (but average users don't have the knowledge to edit hex values or whatever it would be required to accomplish this).

But that, of course, would take time. To make encode/decode functions, code an algorithm so that it is very hard to do a tool to decode and edit the file, etc.
