[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1559820, member: 131855"] From the Finder head to the "GO" Menu and choose "Go to Folder". in Mountain Lion I think the files are in [B]~/Library/Messages[/B] If you are on Mavericks the files are in [B]~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages[/B], In Mavericks the files are stored in folders by date. Open a folder and you can see files for any person you had a conversation with on that date. If you double click a file it will open allowing you to see the message content. There may be a subfolder there with attachments as well. Not sure how many messages will be there. I don't think the archive messages function is on by default.
