Which makes me wonder how twitter does it? Do they have about one month of tweets cached? (afaik you cannot see tweets, even replies, older than about 1 month, same goes for search.twitter.com)
Having a separate page for older messages makes sense, would be easy to implement UI wise too. There could for instance be a link on the bottom of the message box which takes you to a page with old messages.
