Personalise Message View Preferences

Description (Last modified by kiel)

Currently the Messages preferences pane previews a conversation with two people the users can't identify with.

If we personalise this conversation preview (for example, use the user's full name), the user will be able to easily identify which messages are received and sent. This would also allow us to use the user's preferred font attributes, so they can evaluate the appearance of the font with their message view. It would also extremely simplify the Messages preference pane, as per the mockups provided by Catfish_Man on ticket #1882.

I like the idea of using the user's name as the source instead of the current preview (which has me as the source). We actually already do use the user's preferred font stuff I think -- but it's not clear which contact is them and which is a remote contact, so it's not as useful as it might be.

I suggest J Random Contact as the name of the other participant in the conversation :)
