Yes, I want something to know that this message that just prompted is
not a normal message. The problem is bigger when you just connected,
get the OIM and your buddy sends you a normal IM before you read the
message or close the gtkconv.

What I did in #2994 was change the color of the nick when the message
is an OIM so, you know
red: Online Message from the buddy
blue: Online Message you sent (this one I didn't changed)
cool_gray(#859FAF): Offline Message
black: System Message
...

I think is clear enough and easier than do a complete text format like khc says
