I signed in using two .NET Passports: one in Windows Messenger and other in MSN Messenger. Suppose I talk to a contact using the .NET Passport in Windows Messenger. When I later talk to the same contact using the .NET Passport in MSN Messenger the Plus! Log file for the contact gets renamed to <mycontact>.txt.old and a new <mycontact>.txt is created. I wonder why Plus! is doing this. I was expecting it to append to the existing file?
That happens when in one .net passport account you've configured Plus to save chat logs in Unicode format and in the other .net passport account Plus saves the logs in ansi format.
Both formats are incompatible and Plus has to create a .old file because it can't append the conversation in ansi format to an unicode file (nor viceversa).

A much better solution in my opinion would be saving the log files as follows:
My Chat Logs\<mynickname@hotmail.com>\<Year Month>\nickname@hotmail.com.txt
Currently it is:
My Chat Logs\<Year Month>\nickname@hotmail.com.txt
can't you do that going to preferences > loggin > archiving and selecting "create a diferent directory for each file"?
