As a CPDN moderator I thoroughly endorse William's request. The PM feature was great leap forward when it was first introduced (by Rytis?), but although a lot of time and effort have been devoted to developing BOINC itself, this feature has been left untouched. I can think of a few more private messaging features I would like but the copy to self, preferably in my view kept in a separate Sent box, is the most important.
