Great.. Thanks for replies..

One more idea: what about allowing to Bookmark PMs.. That would really help me to quickly find answers to FAQ.

BTW is there any reason not to allow deleting of PMs? On our site they used probably more than public topics. I mean that could be some burden on the database. I’d really like to prune old PMs after say 3 years.
