Hi Kiran,

You do not say anything about the OS you are using (and so I supose it
is Windows, because Linux or FreBSD folks know that there are other OS
and would have mention this). On a normal Linux or FreeBSD OS the chat
dialogues are just plain UTF-8 text files and are store below:

~/.purple/logs/provider-name/your-account/remote-account/date.time.txt

You can later read them with any text tool, like for example 'vi'.

HIH
