 the patches suggested before. What do you think?

 3 yes, 4 no.

 A tag would not represent what really happened. IMO the options are:

  1. Temporarily change the alias, just like in msn-pecan
  1. Properly implement alias per-conversation
  1. Properly implement alias per-message

 Note that #1 is perfectly safe because since libpurple is single-threaded
 we don't leave a chance for the buddy list or anything else to do
 something with the temporary new alias.

 2 would probably be fine but potentially worst than 1, but what would
 really reflect what is happening is 3.

 Anything else would do more damage than good.
