Can we please have access to 'sent' PMs, please?

After spending half an hour composing a PM re: beta-testing software, I hit 'send' only to be told "You are not a registered user, etc..." I appreciate there are good reasons for timeouts, and have no problem with this (although a 'login' option on the appelet would seem a logical design choice here).

I then managed to get the PM appelet to go 'back' then 'forwards,' hoping that the form data would be preserved.
I confirmed that I wanted to resubmit the form data, however I have no way of knowing if the PM was successfully sent or not since there is no ability to access the 'sent items' from my profile page.

Please can you implement this ASAP, it's pretty basic and damned useful. No additional storage is required, since one persons 'sent message' is another persons 'received message.'

Alternatively, I can spend another half hour recomposing the message, just in case it hasn't been sent correctly...

Cheers, and sorry for the pissy attitude. It's just damned frustrating...

@Boot_WB

Yup, I also think that would be a useful feature to have! If there's an issue with space, surely a reasonable quote can be put on mailbox sizes, or just hold the last 25 messages sent or something...

erm, sorry but .... are you submitting bug-reports via PM? if you really must, why don't use an external text editor? when you finish compositing it, copy&paste the content and send via PM.
