You can set a preference to save chat transcripts to your Mail application automatically, or to be prompted to save chat transcripts.

1. Click File > Preferences.

2. Click User Preferences.

3. Click the plus sign next to Instant Messaging and then click Options.

4. Under Chat transcripts, for Save transcripts automatically on closing the chat window, do one of the following:

• If you would prefer to use a command (Meeting > Save To Database) in the chat or meeting window whenever you want to save a transcript to Mail, select Never.
• To be prompted about saving a transcript to Mail whenever you close a chat or meeting window, select Always Ask.
• To automatically save a transcript to Mail whenever you close a chat or meeting window, select Always.
Note Transcripts are saved to the Chat History view in your Mail application. Saved transcripts always include timestamps -- deselecting the "Add timestamp to message" preference affects only messages and invitations that you receive.
