[Bug 543537] Re: misleading timestamps in "ubuntu" theme

[frederik.nnaji]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: empathy
  
  the ubuntu theme shows misleading timestamps for messages in conversations from previous days.
- a message might look like
+ a conversation in empathy with the ubuntu theme enabled would look like this:
  
- "hi there, luv" - 15:42
+ "helle darling, please pick up the kids today" - 15:42
+ "okay luv, no problem" - 15:29
  
- and right below it
+ in this example, the date of the first message can not be determined.
+ one may falsely conclude, it was sent on the same day
  
- "hello, darling" - 15:29
- 
- better would be, to assess, if a message was sent on the same day, or on a different date.
- if the date differs, it should be included in the timestamp .
- if the date of the message is TODAY, then the timestamp can omit displaying the date.
+ better would be, to determine wheter a message was sent on the same day, or on a different day.
+ if the date differs, that information should be included in the message's timestamp.
+ if the date of the message is TODAY, then the timestamp can omit that information safely.
