I don't often use the in game messaging system, but having done so recently it occured to me that we have an inbox but no outbox.

Being able to see copies of messages we have sent would be handy, and if it could include a read / unread flag it would be even better :)

I agree it needs reworking a bit.

the devs have said long term plan is to link it into the forums

Ah right - that would make a lot of sense!
