Ryan, If I understood correctly, he already has an index action that shows truncated messages. He asked for a 2nd page to show the whole content of all messages.
He would probably be better off using a nested route for only 1 action (index) and retrieving the rest of the message asynchronously with AJAX on-demand, but that might be too much at once.
