Not that I know of, but there is an addin software that offers both logging of IM’s as well as IM chats. It’s called Extreme Messenger and it’s a shareware program that sells for $12.00 from Ignite Software. I think it’s http://www.ignitesoft.com and the download is about 3.5MB.
HTH
The logs are very detailed, but don’t record multiple away messages that pop up. Names and time stamps if used are also recorded.
Thanks,
Your response is pretty much what I suspected. Best to have some type of spyware installed. I did read that you can sometimes save IMs through AIM if you have the latest release.
