+
+Install: drop the plugin into your mod folder, that is it.
+
+Notes:
+
+Each message has a series of metadata which is used to control how the message displays.
+
+The metadata toggles are:
+
+hiddenFrom - used to 'delete' from the sentbox
+hiddenTo - used to 'delete' from the inbox
+readYet - 0 means no, 1 means yes it has been read
+
+This is actually a tricky little plugin as there is only ever one instance of a message, how it is viewed 
+depends on who is looked at and in what context.
