The ability to response in real time gives a good advantage. With my former script I sometimes find illegal activity of months ago and by then it's to late to stop it. And another advantage is that a spamming member can normally just jump to a new account to start the same menace all over again. With a short reaction time, you can fix the problem when it arises.

Is there any update on this? Last year you wanted to code this, but had found no time yet. This would also clear the privacy issue, as with such function the admin can choose to only need to see those PM's reported by the PM Workbench.
Illegal activity by PM is a big problem / liability for forum owners. If illegal activity(trade in drugs, weapons, terrorisme, child porn, etc) is taking place on the server, this poses a direct risk to the site and the owner. I think many underestimate the risk. This extra function can counteract that risk. Due to the nature of the internet, I think it is a necessity.

Any word on this feature? Are you still planning to code this? I've seen another hack, which gives this functionality. I would really prefer to have it included in this hack.
