Abstract

A method, system, and program for distributing messaging session logs to users entering an already ongoing messaging session are provided. When, first and second user are participating in an ongoing instant messaging session and an additional user enters the instant messaging session, the additional user can only see those entries in the instant messaging session that occur after the additional user enters the messaging session. A logging controller, however, automatically records a log of all the entries in the messaging session when the logging controller detects the entrance of an additional user to an ongoing messaging session. Then, the logging controller provides a selectable option for the first or second user, the selection of which triggers the logging controller to pass the log of previous entries to the additional user. The first or second user may also select to view the log and select or edit those entries within the log of previous entries that the logging controller may pass to the additional user. Further, the first or second user may select to view the log and select those entries within the log of previous entries to add to the current messaging session that includes the first user, second user, and additional user.
