[gaim-migrate @ 13416] Fix the bug where our screen name would not be shown when sending an IM to someone over protocols where you do not have a server-side alias, and you have not set a self-alias for yourself. This was caused by Sean's commit of a patch which brough conversastion.c to revision 1.644. Anyone know the reason for this change? The commit message was "Todd Troxell removed IM aliases from chat rooms. Unfortunate, but necessary" committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
