It seems that beagle does not index old-style Gaim logs properly and
hits return from them as being "today".  An "old-style" log is a single
log per "budy" which lives in ~/.gaim/logs/<buddy-id>.log.  It is an
HTML format such as the following:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>IM Sessions with [EMAIL PROTECTED]</TITLE></HEAD><BODY 
BGCOLOR="ffffff">
<HR><BR><H3 Align=Center> ---- New Conversation @ Tue May  5 13:27:12 2003

<FONT COLOR="#0000ff"><FONT SIZE="2">(18:47:35) </FONT><B>Bob:</B></FONT> Good

<HR><BR><H3 Align=Center> ---- New Conversation @ Mon May 12 23:47:18 2003 
----</H3><BR>

And then it seems the log changed format at some point to not be in
HTML:

---- New Conversation @ Thu Oct 19 13:22:21 2003 ----
(18:22:57) Alice: Hi
(18:23:06) Bob: Hello
(18:23:12) Alice: OK.  Bye.
(18:23:23) Bob: Yeah, bye.
---- New Conversation @ Mon Nov 20 17:32:42 2003 ----
...

Any chance of modifying the backend for Gaim to properly parse these
older-style formats?  Any chance that it will find already (wrongly)
indexed old-style log files and re-index them?
