Decode Yahoo! Messenger archive files (.dat files), presenting them in a format that you can read easily and comfortably!

Unlike the utility provided by Yahoo! Messenger, using this program you can decode them without connecting to the Internet as long as you have the *.dat files. Moreover, the message archive owner's password is not needed.

The software decodes normal conversation messages, private messages, conferences, and SMS/mobile messages to HTML or plain text, complete with time stamps, smileys and font formatting (typeface, bold, italic, underline, font size and colors). It supports Unicode text (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and all non-latin characters).

Normally, you must be logged in to Yahoo! Messenger to view the Message Archive. However,

* If you forgot your password, but something important is in the archive (telephone number, business contact, email address, etc.)
* If you want to search some text deep hidden in a bunch of archive files.
* If you want to spy other's conversation or SMS (your kids, your spouse, your employee, etc.)
* If you cannot stand waiting the slow Yahoo! Messenger internal archive viewer
* If you want to save or backup your conversations completely with font formatting, smilies, etc.
... you can let Yahoo Message Archive Decoder solve the problem!
