iChat Icon   Saving a chat to read later

You can save a transcript of a chat so you can read it later.

Choose File > Save A Copy As. The chat is saved as an iChat AV transcript document.

To review a chat you've previously saved, choose File > Open in iChat AV, or double-click an iChat AV transcript document.

If you want to save a transcript of all your chats automatically, select that option in the Messages pane of iChat Preferences.
