Question Yahoo Messenger (IM) and BES Privacy

I know, all we newbies want to ever know about is privacy. LOL! So here's another privacy issue for a BES Admin. I need to know: 1) Are actual transcripts of my Yahoo Messenger chats routinely logged by my corporate BES admin? 2) Or can they just be "monitored" (perhaps viewed live??) if they happen to see a chat going on and/or see statistics for overall usage without actual text transcripts? 3) If transcripts of the Yahoo IM sessions are logged, how troublesome is it for a small company to do that (e.g. would my BES admin IT person even bother?)

Some of you BES ITs are saying that you can/do actually log transcripts of EVERYTHING including IM chats within 3rd party apps like Yahoo IM (Messenger), while others say you can only "monitor" use--as in "I know you're accessing Yahoo Messenger and when, but I don't know what you're actually saying."

C'mon, you peeps are holding your cards pretty tight to your chest on this one! Anyone willing to give up the real story? Do you see stored logs of Yahoo Messenger IM transcripts or not?

Thank you!
