Hey, I searched for anything that resembled what I'm asking but couldn't find anything, so here goes...

I was wondering if it's possible to have an option for allowing alerts to occur for conversations in an already open message window if there have been no messages for a certain period of time.

I tend to leave message windows open for people I talk to all the time, and while I don't want audio for every message I send or recieve, it's nice to have it for new messages. Unfortunately, if a window is already open, regardless of how long it's been since the last message, I can't see a way for an alert to be triggered within the current alert framework.

It would be pretty cool if you could set an alert along the lines of:

Event: Sends a message after XX minutes since last message
Action: Play a sound
Sound: whatever

Let me know if this is feasable, or if I'm failing to express what I'm getting at.

Thanks!

I would like this too. I'm running 0.8 svn and growl svn, so I've set up sticky growl notifications for new messages, but if i leave someone's window open, even if the message is essentially "new" it won't recognize it as such. But 2 hours after we last spoke (or overnight, or what have you) it is in fact a new conversation.

I doubt it would be too hard to implement; we just need someone to step up and do it.

So... before this falls through the cracks all together, any chance of its being implemented?

that would be useful for me, as well
