This breaks the css-purity of our mixin but is necessary in order to
apply the initial offset of the hourglass animation dynamically, since
jquery can't manipulate arbitrary css on psuedo elements.
When initialized, or when expiration-related attributes change, expiring
messages will set timers to self-destruct. On self-destruct they trigger
'expired' events so that frontend listeners can clean up any collections
and views referencing them.
At startup, load all messages pending expiration so they can start their
timers even if they haven't been loaded in the frontend yet.
Todo: Remove expired conversation snippets from the left pane.
Test page loads fixtures and renders the inbox view. This may be useful
for smoke testing style changes or generating screenshots with
pseudo-realistic data.
Includes a couple small changes to get rendering working outside the
app.
Previously we only declared the message body as selectable, but Chrome's
implementation of user-select is a little quirky in that it allows
unselectable text to be copied if you select elements around it. Oddly
enough, styling the entire bubble contents as selectable, including the
timestamp, actually prevents chrome from copying the timestamp text when
it's not supposed to, i.e., when triple-clicking the message body.
