Enhancement: Messaging app, message text alignment

The Messaging app currently shows received SMS'es with right alignment. This makes multi-line messages hard to read, because not all lines start with the same left indentation. Also, the font size for received SMS'es is bigger than the one for sent SMS'es (which, I assume, is a bug).

XMPP messages are shown in a more traditional way, with left alignment and prefixed with the time, and sent / received messages are differentiated by color. This behavior is much better.

I would like to have configurable behavior, to be able to choose how I want to view the messages regardless of the type, and for the current SMS style the text should be aligned to left, even if it is still 'glued' to the right border.
