There is no built-in feature to do that.

You can save messages to files (press 'w' while viewing the message) which you can review later using a text editor. PCC1 even had a built-in viewer

If you have saved your results (and you should [1]), you can use the "c2mgrep" tool to search for messages:

c2mgrep "clear to colonize" backups/result*

(...well, under Linux and Cygwin at least; I just saw that it doesn't work so well under Windows...)

Footnote: [1] To enable backups, press Ctrl+O, go to "Options" page, and set the "Backups" options to "activated (default)".

Personally I prefer to safe all the done turns inside their own subdirectory. That way you may always review the complete turn at will including messages and all the orders you've given.

Depending on what exactly you want to achieve with these old messages this might be somehow overkill, but copy/paste for the gamefolder + creating a zip-file (backup file for recreating the final turnfile) is by far easier than all the (OS dependend) quarrels with PCC-options above. + you get absolutely everything for review, not just messages.
