There is also the way you can get to call back the previous or part of the Last chat you had with that person.

If you tick the box I have marked and then chose one of the options in the indicated drop down you will see either the whole of the last chat or the last x IMs of that chat when you click a Buddy to start a new Chat.


It does take a while to build up a history. (mine goes back to 2004 in some cases).

However it an be useful also when someone contacts you as this will trigger the setting as well.


iChat 4 does not have this setting but has a different one that keeps the Last Chat (with whoever) open across Shut down and restarting iChat.

With a good history of chats iChat 5 can run a close approximation of this.


iChat 6 will reopen any window that was open when your Quit iChat.
