SIMP

If you have not already found MSN Messenger Plus! then check it out. It adds alot of very cool features to MSN Messenger including the ability to automatically log the chats which comes in very handy since we use messenger all the time at work when talking about projects.
If you haven't already, I would highly second
Robert's suggestion of checking out Trillian.
I started using it mostly because it let me use one
application to connect to all of the major IM networks - but there's a
ton of good features in there as well.
The logging is quite nice actually - when someone
messages you, it shows the message history right there in the window. I always
forget what I've talked about with who - so it definitely helps me not to
repeat myself! And maybe this is available in other IM clients, but I find
another nice feature is the ability to associate notes with a buddy. Again, I
always forget who someone is, especially when it's some obscure handle they
use.

I just wanted to add my two cents on messenger
additions... SIMP is a sweet little
app that encrypts your msn messenger conversations (provided the other end also
has SIMP installed).. i
have been using it for about six months and it is working
great...
