[jdev] message history

[mark fishman]

All,
 
I'm running a windows client and have message history turned on.   However, it can only viewed on a day by day basis and can't be searched.   It stores the files in a .jml file, but appears to be encrypted.  I'd like to develop something to be able to search across users that I've chatted with, as well as, across multiple days.  It's difficult to remember when you need to find something what day it was you were chatting and its inconvenient to go in and save each day as a separate text file.
 
What I'm looking for is knowledge of the message history file format, so it can be decoded and a search performed.  Any ideas ?
 
Many TIA,
Mark
