It would seem the mods have more access than I thought

Simon, thats underhand as i stated in this post about you:

I knew the contents of the PM simply because GUS forwarded it to me to on MSN to check he had correctly interpreted when you were coming to his place.
Its very sad that you resort to these childish underhand tricks in the hope of making me look bad just because your bad practice has backfired on you.
Please everyone go to the original PHPBB forum coding authors forum and check for yourselves if you have any doubt whatsoever as to the security of your PM's. They can be found here:

As to teh original question, it works exactly like E-mail but with a bonus.
After the mail is sent, it goes to your outbox. Once it is READ BY THE RECIPIENT it goes on to teh sentbox.
This way you know for a FACT they got and read it
Simon... poor show pal
