fgfs/CVS users can now let it write multiplayer messages to a log file.
This feature is off by default and can be enabled with this option:

  --prop:sim/multiplay/write-message-log=1

The logfile can be found under $FG_HOME/mp-message.log, that is:
in $HOME/.fgfs/mp-message.log on Unix, and under MS Windows as
%APPDATA%\flightgear.org\mp-message.log.

Why would one want this?

- because people occasionally post URLs, and these can't be copied
  to the browser from the chat history dialog
- because sometimes one wants to read a recent dialog again, for
  example one that contained useful tips, or an MP event etc.
- because sometimes fgfs crashes unexpectedly (I've heard ;-), and
  one had no chance to read the log in the history dialog
