Title:
  [messaging] Too easy to delete whole conversation history with a
  contact

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Triaged
Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
