Comment(by Eben):

 This is a really nice idea, actually.  As a first pass, I'd probably
 suggest some whitespace with a horizontal rule dividing the sections, and
 a date/timestamp beneath the rule to indicate when the next session
 started.

 As a future addition to this, it would be pretty fantastic if each section
 had a disclosure triangle, such that they could be expanded and collapsed
 as desired. When resuming a chat, previous sections might all be collapsed
 by default, with only their dates and perhaps a snippet of the first
 message (and maybe total number of messages; also, perhaps the
 participants of the chat if there are more than two in the whole
 activity...) visible within the collapsed bar.
