Hello,

I have reported this several times here http://drupal.org/node/170387, but that topic spiraled out of focus into a generic discussion. So here I'm reporting it as a BUG. And IMHO it should be fixed for 5x_3.0 because it is a BUG.

I'm runing a live site with the hacked PM_3.0 version of this module supplied by Lucas2000 here http://drupal.org/node/170387 see comment #48. I use it because it has a lot more theming tags and also optional e-mail notifications for new private messages. But this bug occurs in Standard 3.0 too.

So here's the BUG: both in Standard 3.0 and in Lucas2000 vesrion of it, when you choose a threaded view for your PM display, you cannot delete the messages. If you press "Delete", it will think for a while and bring you to a "Page not found".

I am not a coder, so I don't know what on earth is going on. But I have a suspicion that PM module is still getting confused between "Threaded" and "Individually Listed" modes. If the PMs are individually listed, then "Delete" means "Delete this particular message". But if the PMs are listed as THREADS (conversations), then there should not be a "Delete" link underneath each message, but only 1 "delete" link underneath the whole thread. And in this instance, "Delete" should imply "Delete this whole thread/conversation"

Also noticed this issue. It is a bug. Check the URL after you submit to delete the threads, mine was coming back my-site.com/priatemsg.

There is a typo error on line 2003 of the .module file.

I changed this to reflect the correct URL, but still cannot get threaded PM's to bulk delete.
