For the following URL `/admin/reports/user_to_user_private_messages?category-id=all&end-date=2016-04-21&start-date=2016-04-10`

Note start date of `2016-04-10`.

A graph starting at `2016-03-22` is created:

Something is wacky with report dates, @sam mentioned there is a result total amount limiter, but it is still wacky.

@techapj can you add this to your list?

This was happening because _Private Message_ admin reports do not support date/category filters as of now. It defaults to previous _30 days_.

I removed the filter controls on PM reports to avoid confusion.

Definitely fix the filtering as opposed to removing the boxes, makes no sense not to support date ranges here.

Okay, added support for date range filters in PM reports via:
