VERSION HISTORY
1.3.2 [F] Fixed a few bugs that were found in 1.3.1.
1.3.1 [+] The checkbox "save copy" is now disabled on 3.8.x, since 3.8.x already has such a feature.
1.3.0 [+] The hack is now compatible with vBulletin 3.5.x - 3.8.x. [+] Eliminated all template edits.
1.2.3 [F] Fixed a bug associated with a new hook placement in vBulletin 3.6.

1.2.1 [+] Pm count is now updated after a pm is deleted via "delete original pm".

1.0.0
Initial Release
The installation manual is contained within the attached file.
Truly, it takes more than a minute to install (3 templates, eh?!), but a very cool PLUGIN because it makes peace between my 'receipt popup hating' self and those who rely on it in their PMs.
I've found a conflict between this and another wonderful extension, SuperPM. (SuperPM lets admins/mods send out mass PM's to users. Very helpful, I'm suprised it's not a built in feature of vBulletin!)
Basically, if you have the "Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder" option checked when generating a SuperPM, it will do just that, even when you are merely previewing the message.
No, the mass PM wasn't sent by accident, and no one actually received the PM in question. But for some reason "Advanced PM Options" thinks it is being sent (when all you do is click "Preview,") and puts a copy into your Sent Items. That could be very confusing. Not sure whose code should be tweaked, but I'd like to keep the options for both... just not have erroneously filed "Sent Items." Could Advanced PM be tweaked to watch for previews within SuperPM more intelligently?
Maybe on that initial "Preview" screen, "Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder" could be unchecked and grayed out, since it doesn't really apply in that case. It should reappear (in whatever state the user has selected in their Edit Options) only after the user has clicked "Count and Confirm" and is now on the "Submit Message" page.
