I have an xml file in my messenger history and I'd like to view the
contents. I've searched for a while for a freeware archive history
viewer and have come across programs which either crash and a number
of dead links. Can anyone point in the right direction for one?

Greetings Fred,

Well actually, as long as the xml in the same folder as the MessageLog.xsl file, you can just
open it in the web browser of your choice and it'll render.

Additionally, you can open it in recent versions of Excel or Word.

Hi Fred,

Yes you can (and any other application that will render or parse XML). I admit though, the
performance is really lousy (at least in the Office apps).
