Seems that there are complicated requirements for just a basic internal 
message model such as in Facebook and LinkedIn.

Has anyone modeled messages; have ideas on how to do it?

One 1:M idea is to create only one message-body record, and have recipients 
use a child table that links to body:
BODY-table - only one record shared by all recipients
----------
messageID
senderID
subjectLine
messageBody
dateSent
senderDeleteBoolean (hides from sender, but all recipients that didn't 
delete can still view)
senderArchiveBoolean
threadID

RECIPIENT-Table
---------------
messageID
recipientID
dateRead
archiveBoolean

thanks

Alex Glaros
