If you know the buddy you are sending to then you don't need to loop over
the buddy list to find their name do you? So why can't you just use the
buddy name in the find_conversation_with_account call directly? If you
don't know the buddy name then how were you going to pick them from the
buddy list to send to at all?

But that's even more work than you technically need to do, as
purple_conversation_new will re-use an existing IM conversation if one
already exists.
