[mICQ] History file format or getting out the history directly

I'll check that.

Ok, how about outgoing messages? They are also displayed (shortend) by
UI and logged to file. I think I'll have to analyse the source code, if
I wanna do this. I'll limit myself to parsing the history files for now.

Then, what's the advantage of TCL together with micq? What can be done
with it? (Sorry, this is off-topic O:-))

That will not fit my needs, because of the possible truncating of the
messages:

"Note that for security reasons, single quotes may be replaced by double
quotes, and the message text may be truncated."

Thanks for your answer, I'll try to find everything I need in source
code then, although I'm lacking some experience in C programming ;-)
