Better pm system

[Stonehenge]

It seems like we could easily have a much better pm system with a few changes. I have a couple suggestions and hopefully others will chime in with suggestions and comments of their own. Here is what I'd like to see changed and the reasons why

1. Automatically quote the message you are replying to
2. Get rid of the "delete all" button, have a "check all" button instead.

The reason for #1 is because unless you remember to click on "quote" over at the right, you get a response without the message it's responding to. I don't know about others but I'm on several boards and may have half a dozen messages going at any given time. When I get something back like "OK, lets do the trade, send me your addy..." I don't know what trade they are talking about. This has happened a bunch of times. No one seems to remember to click quote so lets make it automatic.

The reason for #2 is because lots of people end up deleting all their posts without intending to. They check 2 or 3 messages they want to get rid of to maintain the 50 message limit and go to the bottom and naturally click "delete all". Next thing they know all their messages are gone including the ones they wanted to keep. While I'm at it, why not allow us 100 messages, does it cost that much?

Any other comments or ideas?

sound like intelligent suggestions to me
