Regarding the display of chat text

[Eion Robb]

Hi Papul,

I've been playing around with this for a bit, and normally you'd apply this
as a GTK theme, but as a workaround you can edit the 'Local Alias' field
for an account and insert a right-to-left marker character, like

 that flips the display around to look like

and gets pretty close to the outcome you're looking for.  Works for group
chats too:

Cheers,
Eion
