That is true. However coming back to Windows Live Messengers own History Conversation Log, it stores one file per contact.
Therefore I could have a chat with you on 31/01, go offline and edit parts of the conversation and then speak to you today and the conversation I had with you today will just add at the end of the conversation and the date and file properties will just change to today.
I have already spoken to a techie who said that the file properties date and time can be quite useless. For example I could change the date and clock on my PC to 02/05/2010 and therefore when the changes are made to the file, the modified properties would say thefile was last modified on 02/05/2010 -- when both you and I would know that is not even possible!
