PMS...Uh, I mean Private Message Sending

I think I need instructions for sending a PM or something? After I create a PM, and click the 'Submit' button, it appears in the Out Box. What then, does it get sent automatically after some time passes, or is there another command I need to give to send a PM that is in the Out Box?
Thanks.

Out Box = Sent Personal Messages

Yah, sure. Thanks for the reply. What, then, does the system hold a PM in the Outbox until the member it is addressed to signs in? I don't see a button anywhere to send/receive messages. I mean does the software take care of things once a message is submitted to the outbox or something?

Basically when you go to submit a PM it stays into the outbox until the user you sent it to physically opens it up.
Once the PM has been successfully opened it'll appear in your sent box.
The good think about the outbox is if you sent a message which you feel needs editing even though you've already sent it you can easily edit it without the receiver even knowing and you can also even delete it before the receiver reads it if you wish.
That's just one good think about this messengering service is that you don't get in normal email systems. Is that in normal systems the outbox usually means it hasn't sent at all, and is waiting for your mailbox and/or internet connection to come online to send it.
In this case it has already been sent. And you can edit or delete the already sent version.

Thanks for the reply, boss, and for the clarification. I agree; that is a nice thing to have available, especially as much as I wind up rewriting stuff after looking at how poorly written most of it is the first time (or ten) around.
Thanks agsin for the reply, man.
