I guess people who want the feature back are just not smart enough to figure out that the need to check the box (Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder.) to save sent PM's, or they just can't be bothered.
Smart has got nothing to do with it. That's easy enough
provided one knows about it! Sine the feature had worked the same way forever and ever, there was no reason to expect that this option needs to be selected.

I understand and appreciate this. However, it also doesn't cost anything to start a new thread in the lounge saying something like:
FYI, as of xx/xx/2007, outgoing PM's will no longer be saved automatically in the Sent folder. If you wish to save a certain message, scroll down and select this option before sending the message.
It's not a big deal to click the "save" box from now on, just wish I had found out about the changes when they were made. Here's why I use it:
Sometimes during upgrades or tech problems, I found that some posts did not go through after clicking "submit reply", if the same thing could happen with PM's, keeing the copy in the
Sent folder gives you a better idea of wether the action was executed.
Also, with dial up, there are several things which interrupt the session - for example in my building if the intercom is rung while I'm writing a post or PM, it will NOT go through - the screen just freezes when you click "submit". If I navigate
Back, I'm still logged in, but the message may be lost. Obviously, with a Post, you can refresh and check if it's posted or not, but with a PM, your only reference is the
Sent folder.
