It will introduce a very minor slowdown, but I don't think it will
really be that noticeable. And the current approach basically prevents
people from having large numbers of mbox sources, which is a little
contrary to the Sup philosophy of "put every email you've ever read in
one program."

That's weird. Is this in thread-index-mode? What about when you expand
the header ('h') in thread-view-mode? Does the time appear correctly?

Iiiinteresting. Making Sup an IM client proper is almost certainly
a world of misery. Getting the current textfield stuff working was a
goddamn nightmare, and it's still very wonky. It does seem a little
weird, philosophically speaking, but I wouldn't throw such code away if
it were dumped on my lap. :)
That said, what WOULD be easy is to treat IM logs as a message source,
and put conversations in the index, gmail style.

Try the comma-commands. ",n", etc.

These jump between individual open messages in a thread.

Glad to hear it. Sup is mostly to scratch my own itch.
