As a Bungie.net member, I communicate to a lot of users everyday via the private message system. My intention by throwing this idea out there is not to get flamed back, but rather to discuss the subject constructively. Please note that I have no problem with the current format and structure of Bungie.net and do not wish to add certain features, in order to copy or take anything from another website.

This idea consists of having an additional section for the message center so that you may view your sent messages to other users. I know this may seem pointless or irrelevant, but I think it could be useful in various situations. Allowing us to refer back to one of our messages could help in many different cases where we have forgotten what we had said to another user because they didn't quote us when they replied. Also, if you suspect someone of accessing your account and then sending private messages out to others, you could then use that feature in another way that is beneficial.

I know there are more circumstances where this may come in handy or may cause some problems, but the purpose of proposing this feature is primarily for gathering feedback. Again, I am not for or against this idea, but I would like to hear any opinions, suggestions, or comments regarding this topic that you are willing to share. Thank you.

It would be certainly useful. People have brought up the issue before. I often have to save certain correspondence if it pertains to anything detailed, lengthy or important. I would be a fairly easily implanted feature too I would assume. If I go back to the earlier stages of my inbox, as people's accounts are deleted, so are the messages they send me, indicating that the messages you send are already saved in your inbox, and when you open up a message, you are simply viewing a part of the sender's hidden outbox... or I could be completely wrong.

People have brought this issue up many times. Nearly everyone agrees and I'm sure you've seen those threads. It makes me wonder why you felt the need to bring it up again, but that's neither here nor there. ;)

I agree 110%.

:D

I wish this could happen. When people PM me after I reply, they do not quote what I said, and I usually can't remember what we were talking about.

Even the cheapest of forums with advertisements streaming through the left, right, down, and top sides have this feature, I cannot comprehend why bungie.net doesn't.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Like I said last week, I'd love it.

It'd be an exceptional idea, I interact with up to 100 messages a day and it'd be nice to know what I sent the night or day before.
