Public bug reported:

Steps:
* open messaging app
* drag one of the items on the list to the right
* tap on the trash icon

Expected:
* only today's messages are removed or at least there's a confirmation dialog

Current:
* whole history of messaging with a contact is removed

The fact that conversations are separated by days suggests as if a
single item was a conversation within that day. But in fact they're
complete conversations just ordered by date (which is actually different
than the phone log, which *is* split by date, and removing an item there
only affects a day's events).

I wonder if it would be better to indeed show multiple entries for a
single contact, in each day a message was sent either way, this being a
shortcut to a certain message when opening. It feels like this would be
better in the long run (imagine many years of messaging history). That
might deserve another bug though.
