Currently the “Split Topic” admin action is all about splitting public topics, you select a category there and the expectation is that a new public or secure topic is created.

We need a way of also splitting large personal messages.

- Add an admin wrench option on messages for “Split Message”
- UI not to show category selector
- UI to be explicit about who will be included in new private message.

Use case:

- A PM has 120 messages
- Admin selects 20 of them
- Admin clicks “Split Message”
- UX shows “Bob, Bill, Team …” will be included in new message
- (phase 2) … allow cleaning up the list in the split UI
- Admin gives the new message a new title
- Admin splits
- Message was split is included in original PM

Maybe as a very low pri long term item, I can think of 10-20 things I’d like to see us do before this..
