Default Various types of PM?

Hi Paul, could you explain the differences between sending a PM from my PM message area and sending it by clicking on the OPs name, then either sending a PM or e-mail.
In the latter case I seem not to get a record in my PM sent box, is this correct?

Whichever way you send a PM it should be in your sent folder. If you send an email through the forum it won't be stored here anywhere.

Ok Paul, thanks for that, but I had a suspicion that PM "direct to members were not being stored. I'll look more closely next time.

It uses the same page and code, it's just a different way of getting there, so it should be stored the same way. It would be useful if someone can confirm though.

My experience has been that, as you say, the function is the same regardless of the route taken to get there. I've never encountered a PM not being stored.

Same here. It works either way.

Ed, I'll send you two PMs to confirm you get them both.

Done.
