I'm wondering if it would be clearer to simply leave this blank?

title = urwid.Text(title_markup)
header = urwid.Columns(
[
("pack", title),

urwid.AttrWrap(urwid.Divider(MESSAGE_HEADER_DIVIDER), "general_bar"),

This is a partial fix towards the issue? That is, we start to show a different message in the message header and the current-message header? Assuming so, the commit text could indicate that.

Does the new header structure need to follow the form of the others? I know it's rather hacky in places, so it's likely fine for now.

return self.stream_header()
else:
return self.private_header()
