OK, edit memberinfo template and find:

       <tr>
		<td colspan=2><label for="cb_pmpopup"><input type="checkbox" name="pmpopup" value="1" id="cb_pmpopup" $checked[pmpopup] />$vbphrase[show_pm_popup]</label></td>
	</tr>

Right below that, add:

<tr>
<td>
Our Private Messaging System can show you the initial part of every message in your folders, as a synopsis, when looking at the Messages List. This is very useful, when purging the message folders, from old or useless messages. In the drop down menu below, select if you want to see a synopsis of each message, or if you do not want to see one.
<P>
<select name="synopsis" id="cb_synopsis">
$synopsis_phrase
</select>
<P>
You may also select the length of the synopsis shown, in other words how many characters from the start of each message, will be shown. Allowed values are between 100 and 300 chars, default is 200 and this value will be used if the entered length is outside these limits.
<P>
<span style="float:$stylevar[right]">
<input type="text" name="synopsis_length" value="$synopsis_length" size='5' class='smallfont'>
</span>
<label for="cb_synopsis_length">Enter the length of the synopsis here :</label>
</td>
</tr>

I'll update the txt file as soon as this is posted.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Also, for those who installed the second version (with the UserCP Option, which ... was not there, LoL) I came up with a different template, for the message list, which I think is more easy to read. So, if you want to use it, here is the code for pm_messagelistbit template.

<tr>
	<td class="alt1" width='2%'><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/pm_$pm[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
	<if condition="$show['pmicons']"><td class="alt2" width='2%'><if condition="$show['pmicon']"><img src="$pm[iconpath]" alt="$pm[icontitle]" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td></if>
	
	<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]">
		<div>
			<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a>
                </div>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[synopsis]>0">
       <table width='100%' border='0'>
         <tr>
            <td width='10%' class="smallfont" align='left'>
                <u>User:</u> 
            </td>
            <td class="smallfont" align='left'>             
	        <if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if>
	    </td>
	 </tr>
         <tr>
            <td width='10%' class="smallfont" valign='top' align='left'>
                <u>Synopsis:</u> 
            </td>
            <td class="smallfont" align='left'>
                $synopsis
            </td>
         </tr>
       </table>
<else />
       <div class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if></div>
</if>
	</td>
	<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" nowrap width='15%'>
            <div class="smallfont">
		<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span><br/>
		<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time">$pm[sendtime]</span>
	     </div>
	</td>
	<if condition="$show['pmcheckbox']"><td class="alt2" align="center" style="padding:0px" width='3%'><input type="checkbox" name="pm[$pmid]" value="$groupid" /></td></if>
</tr>

and here is a screen shot.
