Multiple Recipients - Better handling in VB

[Cyricx]

Okay, so two things have really bugged me about the multiple recipients system in vbulletin.

Number 1 - As a person receiving one, you don't see who else it was sent to.

Number 2 - when you go to reply, you only reply to the original sender.

What I'm thinking is someway, maybe in the message itself where it lists who all the pm was sent to if it was sent to more then one person.

And then a "reply all" function that puts all those usernames in the field for the reply.

Anyone else think these would be great additions? and anyone up for it?

Not sure how much of a monster it'll be to write heh.

Anyone up to the 'hard work'?

This makes so much sense; the PM system would really, really benefit from this functionality. Add it to 4.0!

[on knees begging]Please add this to vB 4.0, hell, add it to 3.6.[/on knees begging]

I'll giive it a shot, but I'm not exactly sure where to start. If someone could point me to all the files that handle the pms, I'll try to write the hack.

Check out vBulletin 3.6beta, running on vBulletin.com right now... you can BCC people in your PM's. Not sure how it works, but the BCC field is new and implies a more robust "group addressing" feature.

Incomplete list of other new features here:
