Id like to ask for your suggestions for what we could do to make managing private messages easier. I currently has over 1800, and that doest include the 700 or so that are from root. Paging through them 50 at a time to eliminate the crud is proving to be really frustrating. I assume that I can't be the only one like this (and I'm not, there are 52 users with inboxes of 100 messages or more, and 100 with inboxes of 50 or more). Any ideas for what or how to do this would be nice.

Some thoughts:

• Provide a way to migrate your private messages to a scratchpad.
• Provide a way to migrate your private messages to your email account
• Provide a way to view and or delete messages by a given users
• Provide a way to find messages based on content or author.
