Scream,
We have been looking at implementing "Self-Search" in w3t, and have concluded that adding a "To:" field to the pertinent database table simplifies things quite a bit. The implementation of a "To:" field allows us to track the name of the recipient of a response. Thus when you perform a "Self-Search" you need only search "From: Scream" and "To: Scream."
The addition of a "To:" field also increases the options in terms of flagging a message to a user by another user, etc.
I'm curious to know how you are approaching the implementation of "Self-Search" in w3t.
Best Regards,
Derek
