Description Chow Loong Jin 2011-10-29 08:14:37 UTC 
When starting a chat with a contact that is linked to others via a metacontact, the previous chat of the said contact appears, but not those of other contacts in the metacontacts.

It should instead be merged, as metacontacts are only really used for multiple contacts belonging to the same person, and the last conversation with any contact with the metacontact should be shown instead.

Of course, the same goes for the "Previous history" option when right clicking a metacontact in the contact list.
