In MSN we fake sending messages to yourself. This had a small bug in that the received message would show up *before* the sent message. This fixes that so that when talking to yourself messages appear in the correct order. I was discussing this with Stu and he said it was a rather silly thing to worry about, but I disagree with him.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
