it  says  READ all the time ....    Somebody Help me!   radioact i will pay u 10 USD.. as i did it before lolz..
Below is preview of what i have done.

Step 1: lib.account_messages.php

                'member_id' => 'member_id1',
                'basic_rows' => 1,
                )
            );
            $fields[$i]['message_id'] = $obj['message_id'];
            $fields[$i]['message_nonread'] = $obj['new'];
            $fields[$i]['message_subject'] = strlen($obj['subject']) > 40 ? htmlentities2utf8(substr($obj['subject'], 0, 40)) . " ..." : htmlentities2utf8($obj['subject']);

Step 2 and 3: account_messages_sent.tpl

<a href="{top.virtual_path}{message_link}">{message_subject}</a>
                                    &nbsp;^{<!-- IF message_nonread -->Non-read<!-- ELSE -->Read<!-- ENDIF -->}
                                    <a href="{top.virtual_path}{message_link}">{message_subject}</a>&nbsp;^{<!-- IF message_nonread -->Non-read<!-- ELSE -->Read<!-- ENDIF -->}
                                </td>
                                <td class="name">
                                    <a href="{top.virtual_path}{member_profile_link}">{member_username}</a>

Hi seeme 101,  Thanks for help now that fine there is no double text, but it still says  Read for all messages even there are many unread messages.

Gosh! I didn't see it was for the INBOX...sorry...

By the way, those envelopes in vld, dosn't fit the backgroundcolor in dark_yellowish...
I have made a white closed envolope on the same background as dark_yellowish and use only this for non-read messages, because I see (now) no need to show a text or an envolope for messages that have been read too...I simply deleted from and with the <!-- ELSE --> until <!-- ENDIF -->
If someone want to have this closed envolope for dark_yellowish (I have also an open, but don't use it my self), you can use my mailadress...

This is how I did; only paid members and admins can use this function:

<a href="{top.virtual_path}{message_link}">{message_subject}</a>&nbsp;<sup><!-- IF top.loggedin_group_id == "1" OR top.loggedin_group_id == "5" --><!-- IF message_nonread -->Non-read<!-- ELSE -->Read<!-- ENDIF --><!-- ENDIF --></sup>

Or I did before I made an envelope insted

Fantastic, thanks Freja

Hi there what I would like to have added here is so that a member can see if the other member has replied on that specific message.

Like in Sent messages it will be
Subject: Hi there  (Read / Not read)      (Replied / Not Replied)        To: Babyangel        Sent: 18/05/2001

I'm sure this is easily achievable with a similar script.

If you get 500 messages a day and you're interested in a certain conversation, you would like to see if that person replied and know if you should search through the 500 messages for that specific persons message or not. I think it's quite valid.

BUT okay, how about this one?
Being able to sort message history by Usernames, maybe make a dropdownbox where you can select a username and when you select the username it shows you the whole discussion history between you and them only!

Example (to make sure everyone understand) VLAD and MARK - please note

-------
Inbox
-------
Please select a member to view the discussion history between you and them.
John
Steven
Peter
Mary   << You select theis one from dropdown
Sarah
Marianne

----------
Results should be shown like the history

Makes sense I guess - any thoughts?
While we're at it? What about one liner replies for members who's not paid
