No "sent items" in PM's?

[TuxCoder]

If I go into my Private Messages area, and select the folder "Sent Items", it never has anything in it. Is there a way I can get to my sent messages? That's such a basic feature, I would be surprised if it isn't supported. What if we want to go back and send a previous message to a different user at a later time?

When you send a message you much check the "Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder." box (It is unchecked by default)

Thats the only way it saves it to your Sent Items Box.

Ah, thanks. No way to set that on be default, I guess?

We had it on by defualt before, but it caused problems as peoples PM boxes were filling up and they got upset because their PM box was empty and they were still getting the full box message, a lot did not understand that you needed to clear out your sent items folder as well.

So we have moved to this method and it has worked out really good (and has helped the size of the database as well)
