I need to show the name of the recipient of a personal message in the personal messages list.  
If your pm didn’t have a reply from the recipient yet it will only show the sender as the last participant.  
This confuses most of my members because they send several mostly identical messages with the same subject and would need to open each message to see which member they sent it to.  
Those messages are private so multiple recipients won’t do.  
An example would be managing secret santas. Each member gets a message containing different mailing addresses, but they shouldn’t know who is the secret santa of whom. All messages are titled “Your secret santa”.  
Is it possible to get a single recipient and then display it? Plugin or theme edit maybe?
