Probably should have this all figured out by now...but I tend to be a slow learner. Is it posible with the new format to determine if a poster has Ter mail ?

under the posters handle. now whether that poster has VIP and can read what you send.... that's a whole 'nother question.

In the old format every post had that envelope...but as you said, it did not mean the poster had PM capacity.

1. no envelope for an alias
2. a yellow envelope for a VIP who can read what you send him
3. maybe a yellow envelope with a red X through it so you know that it's a waste of time to send a message.

how hard could that be?
