Comment:

 I believe pidgin should be showing the first message after a day change
 (and possibly the first message received after a "long" break). If that
 isn't happening, and it didn't seem to be in a 'quick' test of a break. I
 consider that a bug and it should be fixed.

 The irssi day-change feature should probably support writing that
 information to the log, but that is something you would have to take up
 with the plugin pack authors.

 Like I said, you can always forcibly turn on dates for every message as
 well.

 The log viewer shows logs by log entry, using whatever the current logger
 defines as a log entry. A custom logger could log by day or whatever else
 it wanted and return logs in whatever units it wanted to.

 That's a custom logger again.

 rlaager: I'm assigning this to you in case there is in fact a date logging
 bug here, since you dealt with logging stuff last as I recall.
