Just wanted to update with few additional requirements

  1. Show Message button next to profile name on all posts all the time even to guests

  2. When guests click on the Message button prompt them to log in

  3. When logged in users click on this Message button prompt them to subscribe (paid subscription) if they are not subscribed.

Sounds like this is doable with a custom theme component.
You can try developing that yourself (there is a Theme Developer Tutorial: 1. Introduction) or ask in Marketplace

That’s what I also though. I’m going to check it out.

Beyond my capabilities. I found a plugin doing that but that doesn’t work.
