You are going to have to store it somewhere, assuming that you cannot determine it in some other way at the next login. The db seems like the obvious place. Presumably in the user table if it is on a per user basis. Alternatively, if it is an usual situation you could have a messages table where Message belongs_to user, or has_many users if the same message goes to a number of users.
