O.P. [Request]Copy previous messages
Can someone make a script so that, for example when you typed
quote:
/copymessages 15
this would copy the previous 15 messages sent and recieved

Or, a command like
quote:
/pastemesssages "user@hotmail.com" 20
this would paste the last 20 messages sent adn recieved from the chat user@hotmail.com into the current window?
Is this possible?

Well, this would require the script to store the messages while you receive them, even if you don't need to send them. Scripts don't have access to the last messages, the closed we can get is retrieve a portion of your chat history using ChatWnd::HistoryText_GetTextRange, but we can't know how long it is. :-/

A script could be made that stored the last x messages from your contacts and then you can send upto x messages in a convo. From what I've seen though, some people can have upto a thousand contacts and it could all get a bit bloated. Should be possible though

Maybe have a config so you choose what contacts to store the messages for?
