The Inter-User Messages system is quite nice.
However, it means:
1- That users have duplicate mailboxes
2- And the recipient can't just click reply
On dev.tikiwiki.org, this is not so nice because people already have an internal tiki mailbox on tikiwiki.org
So, let's think about an additional/modified feature called "direct message" or "direct mail".
This would simulate a regular email. (let's plan ahead that this should be able to send other types of messages (jabber, sms, etc.)
The headers could be:
"from" is Full Name ({$Username}) {senderemail}
"to" is Full Name ({$Username}) {recipientemail}
"bcc" to {senderemail} (So we have a trace of what we sent)
In case some spammers get a hold of it, let's have something like this at the bottom:
This message was sent via {$name of site}
Not sure if this should be done with the webmail feature, or maybe as an option of Inter-User Messages
See how MediaWiki does it for a good example:
