Comment(by deryni):

 I mean the last character of the message if that was the last character
 entered, otherwise whatever other character was last entered.

 If you type "This is my messsage.<enter>" then the formatting for . should
 persist. If, on the other hand, you typed "This is mu message.<left *
 9><bksp>y<enter>" then the formatting of the y should persist.

 Why is your input cursor not on the last character in the message? did you
 go back to edit the message? Why would you not expect the formatting you
 were last typing in to persist? Non-IM applications don't really have a
 comparable usage to model after (though the closest I can think of is the
 go-back-and-edit model, which will use whatever the formatting at the
 point of edit is for future typing until you either unset it or move out
 of that formatting area).
