Greetings Don,
I assume you mean keeping copies of your conversations? The only version of Messenger that
has this capability built-in is MSN Messenger 6.x:
http://messenger.msn.com/Download. You can turn on this functionality in MSN Messenger 6.x
by opening the main Messenger window, clicking the Tools menu, then Options, then Messages
tab, and checking the checkbox next to 'Automatically keep a history of my conversations'.
Alternatively, if this option isn't available, or you're using an older Messenger version,
you can use a third-party addition like Messenger Plus:
http://www.msgplus.net which will
automatically log conversations into text files.
