deleting "sent messages" [tracked]

Not a big thing but I think it would be nice if there were a possibility to del your sent messages. I don't see any reason to keep them all the time

[moved from db change req to feature request]

Your sent messages are actually the others' incoming messages. (As far as I can judge from the outside, they are the very same entry in the database)

So, a message will be deleted as soon as the recipient decides that it's no more worth keeping.

that is correct.
so ATM no db space is wasted for the sent entries.
meaning the only reason to clean those would be to keep the screen less cluttered. and in that case they wouldn't be deleted from the database but only flagged as being hidden from the sent view.

BYe!
