No. Unfortunatly not.
If you want to keep that feature you need to enable Messenger's own logging (which can indeed not be encrypted).
PS: Most of the time you do not need encryption anyways. Most people simply use it as a gimmick or to hide something from their parents. But I mean, what is so 'secret' about chatting with your friends. The chances are very high that there are things on your computer which are far more important and potentially 'secret' than a chat log.

2 methods:
First one is:
1) Move every archived chat log you have from its archived subdirectory to the main Messenger Plus! chat log directory
2) Use the "re-encrypt" button in the preferences to encrypt everything in the main chat log directory.
3) Move the chat logs again to their respective archive subdirectory.
But this method can be troublesome and very long as you need to repeat it for each individual archive subdirectory.

Apparently this does not work anymore
A much faster way is to use the batch file I've created:
