/* The time column usually just needs enough space to display the
   timestamp. The minimum width here is enough for "22:22 PM", which
   is roughly the widest this will be in English; this is nice as the
   timestamps and message controls will be vertically aligned.

   But in some locales, the time encoding is wider, (especially where
   the "PM" abbreviation is longer), so we allow the column to be
   wider for individual messages if required, to prevent ugly
   line-wrapping. In practice, it's unlikely we'll see anything wider
   than 60px; so the precise value of $time_column_max_width should be
   unimportant. */
