For new and old users of privatemsg alike I think it would be useful to see all the features currently implemented within the module. Maybe a future features list, too, with features other users have requested or ideas the maintainer has for improving the module.

Great idea!

Do you volunteer to collect a list of features privatemsg currently offers?

This will certainly help me maintain it better.

Sure I'll do it. :) Should I just post them in this issue?

Edit: I'll list them here for review.

Features

  • Allows users to send and receive private messages via your site.
  • Subscriptions integration.
  • Workflow-ng integration. i.e., When user A sends a PM to user B, user B gets a configurable email. Any other actions can be easily created via the workflow_ng UI.
  • Token support.
  • Private messages can be archived during a cron run provided the submodule "Private messages archive" is enabled. You can specify a time period such as 3 months and PMs older than that age will be archived. Instead of archiving, PMs can also be set to be deleted at the specified age.
  • A max messaging rate to prevent abuse of PMs. (5 sec, 10, 15, etc.)
  • Easily configurable welcome PM for new users.
  • Edit which content types display the "Write to author" link.
  • Users can create folders in addition to the default "Inbox," "Sent," and "Recycle."
  • And more...

Future features

Optional modules

For the "future features" I just went through the issues queue and chose the main feature requests. Feel free to edit of course!

I took a screenshot of the module in action for the project page as well.
