One thing that is a nice change is to be able to find all private messages by the sender.

Then click on "sender" above the first listed message.
If you feel like your allowed quota for private messages is not large enough, let me know. One of the luxuries of having so few people here is that we can all now sit in first class, spread our elbows, throw our legs forward. But let me assure you, the steward can still be a bit nasty so don't expect polite service.
