PM's permanently deleted?

[recklessop]

I was asked by one of the members on my forum if private messages are permanently deleted or if there is a way to restore them ? im looking through his messages with phpmyadmin, but since the date line isnt easily read im looking for a faster way to look for the pm he lost

Thanks guys
