Well, there's only one entry in the database per PM. And just like email, you can't delete a message you've sent off of someone else's computer, although I know that's not what you're meaning to do. The Save / Delete links are there to keep your Inbox tidy, but I guess it didn't cross my mind that someone would want to keep their Sent folder tidy too. You don't want to be reminded of certain messages you sent?

I am planning on adding a paging mechanism though, so it will only list maybe 15 messages at a time with page links to the others, as opposed to huge long listing it is now. Anyway, I could build in the functionality to let people "delete" PM's being shown in their Sent folder, if enough people really think that'd be a useful feature.

I know, a veeery old bump. But I just wanted to get on the list of requesters of this feature. Maybe there are even more who didnt raise there voice yet?

does that mean that if the receiver deletes the PM from his inbox it disapears from my outbox? That'd be ugly. For my PM-system I use a deleted flag for each of them and physically delete the message if both deleted it.

Nah, it's a flag. I'll add one for the sender at some point. Haven't decided whether physical deletion is worth it.

I don't know if there are laws which force you to delete it. But as that can only be seen by hacking your site which is illegal too thats probably not a problem
(There might also be "Antiterror-Laws" forcing you to keep it for some time)
