The Message Center Enhancement Proposal

I think you need to work on this idea more.

At the bottom of each post there could be a button.."File Message"

If one wants to add the post to a 'list' one clicks on the 'File Message' button and it takes you to the Message Center preferably to the folders for the specific thread. Naturally I am referring to the beta message center..the beta message center is almost exactly what is needed in its existing format.

When in the message center one files the message in a folder exactly as one files a PM in a folder. One can name the folder anything one wants to just as one can already do. In the existing format if one clicks on a folder you see a list of posts..same for the proposal..a list of posts in a named folder.

A few enhancements to the Message Center are necessary.

The folder should have status options. For example the originator of the folder can mark the folder 'read only' or 'full access' or other ( I do not know all of the NT privileges) Is there an option for adding files but not giving someone the option to delete files in NT? That would probably be the best option for team work in a common shared folder.

Now when a user clicks on the File Message button and is taken to the message center she/he sees a list of folders for the thread with name and status. Then just add the message to a common folder or an individual folder.

To view the messages in a list/category nothing changes. We already have the capability. Just click on one of the common or shared folders and review the posts in the folder of your choice.

Perhaps the beta version with its enhanced capability would be able to incorporate such a feature?? It seems like the feature parallels the existing message center format...just adds a little more capability. ie It extends the message center filing system to all posts in a thread in lieu of just posts and messages to an individual user.

If SI can do this I will join the beta rave review crowd<g>
