Comment(by VuDu):

 Yes, I agree, my bad. Like you said a weeks ago:

 additional tags of this sort (and potentially other sorts) for incoming
 (and outgoing?) messages.

 By deryni's point 4 I meant planning a better future implementation. If
 the current one, deryni's point 3 (your point 1), turns out to be the best
 one, great!

 I don't know about other protocols, but if they benefit from it, it'd be
 best to delegate that to libpurple and separate the buddy alias from the
 message alias (your point 3) which would mean something like adding a new
 "message alias" attribute and a new function to specifically change that
 attribute without changing other fields (tab names) related to the buddy
 alias, right? [[BR]]
 I'm not much into lipurple's code, so I might be shooting blindfolded.
