Hi,
The Message History function is only available in MSN Messenger 6.x:
http://messenger.msn.com/Download
Alternatively you could use Messenger Plus! to get logging (into text files) in previous
versions (and 6.x if you like):

>> Well firstly you have to turn on the logging functionality if you haven't already. To do
>> so, click the Tools menu within Messenger, then Options, then Messages tab, and make sure
>> that "Automatically keep a history of my conversations" is selected. In that same window,
>> you'll see the folder where the logs are stored, you can either visit that folder on your
>> own or simply right-click individual contacts on your main contact list and choose "View
>> Message History".
