Perhaps you could use tcpdump to log all AIM packets and then use ethereal
to reassemble the tcp streams ? I've reassembled irc conversations this way
pretty painlessly.

I've done crudely using snort, some long arguments, selective ports, and
piping it through strings.  It let you see what was going on, but it wasn't
pretty.

My boss asked me the other day if we could log AOL instant messenger
conversations, I know of course this can be done with any sniffer but I was
wondering if there was a quick and easy way to do this. I was thinking
perhaps I could use snort, but how could I reassemble the conversations? I
would not like to spend all my time gathering and sorting all this info. Has
any one tried this before and if so how well did it work?
