I'm also looking for good ideas on how to deal with the huge amount of time
that it takes to scan through private messages and stuff.  Right now it
has to read each message and send back something saying that it is a private
message.  Also, if you happen to make a mistake and hit n)ext it will go
forever looking for messages to you.

Adding expires would help (right now messages never get deleted, it is on the
todo list), but this won't do it all.  The best solution would probably be
a seperate private message base for each user, but that would take a lot more
in terms of spacial resources on the system.

Anyone else ever look at a good way of handling this before?
