  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>?&gt;I have a feeling this idea was tossed around about a year ago. If I remember
  35 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>correctly, it was decided that is was not practicle since it requires doing
  36 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>a walk of every nicknames's memo list looking for your unread memos.
  37 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>Thinking about it again, having to keep a list of every memo sent by a user
  38 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>is going to waste memory.
  39 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  40 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>Imho, it's not something that can be implemented neatly and efficiently at
  41 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>the moment. However, Andy may want to comment.
  42 </I>&gt;<i>
  43 </I>&gt;<i>      Having had the experience of using IP Messenger (a Japanese LAN-based
  44 </I>&gt;<i>IM tool that allows finding out when your messages have been read), I do
  45 </I>&gt;<i>recognize the usefulness of knowing whether/when memos have been seen by
  46 </I>&gt;<i>their recipients, but as above, it's not necessarily an easy task.  If I
  47 </I>&gt;<i>do come up with a good way to do it I'll think about implementing it for
  48 </I>&gt;<i>5.0.
  49 </I>
  50 Simple, keep a list of memos sent by a user, as is currently done for
  51 memos received by a user - both lists point to the memo itself, which
  52 is separate.  Link the memo itself back to the users, too.  This
  53 would allow for the sender to check status, and even cancel the memo
  54 if that proved to be a desirable feature.
