Ah, I missed that quirk of your proposal. But it would be nice if people could choose to have their sent messages default to not deleted because they prefer to keep a record of them.

Hmm, ok if you feel thats really necessary.

Yes, what is vital in technical decisions is an assessment of tye's emotions.

So you'd rather have the DB go pawing through all messages sent from X to Y searching for one of the right format? You are going to add infrastructure to make it easy to put this information in a place already defined to have a quite different purpose for what reason? Wouldn't infrastructure to set a user setting be better in so many ways? Private messages should act like private messages, which leads to conflicts if you try to use them for permission granting.
