Comment(by VuDu):

 Replying to [comment:66 deryni]:
 > VuDu: Being willing to accept a patch that implements this the message
 prefix way now and doing it correctly in the future is *exactly* what was
 decided.
 >
 rekkanoryo used a bold+italic "if" before the "we want to support this
 before 3.0.0" which doesn't *exactly* support your "*exactly* what was
 decided" statement, therefore what I said before. Besides that, it seems
 he didn't quite understood the issue, since it makes little sense to show
 both buddy/group name and P4-Context... just look at the behavior of the
 official MSN client.

 >If you want the message prefix system added feel free to supply the patch
 (especially as you seem to think it requires very little effort). I'm sure
 it does in fact require relatively little effort but as I don't use MSN I
 couldn't even test it if I wanted to, though I would gladly commit a patch
 that appeared to have been written correctly and let other people test it.
 >
 Weren't enough patchs already suggested for this issue? Mass rejecting
 patchs and then asking for another one shows lack of consideration for the
 effort of the rejected patchs' users. If there's anything wrong one should
 start where the others left before. I've used [http://pastebin.ca/1336515
 this] based on the patchs submitted here and it worked just fine. I
 understand Gaim started as a AOL client, but that was a decade ago and now
 MSN has a huge weight on the IM world. Having AOL-only devs reviewing MSN-
 only patchs might lead to problems like this.

 > A new ticket requesting more useful support for the correct message
 tagging feature would be acceptable as well, this ticket does not need to
 stay open as it contains a large amount of discussion and argument
 unrelated to the implementation of that feature.
 >
 I don't understand why somewhere in the middle of this ticket the word
 "tag" started being used.
 We always had (and should always have) "(timestamp) alias: message". The
 only thing that changed is that now msn_message_get_attr(msg,
 "P4-Context") might not be NULL, right? Why entangle things?
 IMO, if it's there use it... if not, move on.
