People would still be able to see when other's are PM'ing you, though.
I think it's a valid concern. Being able to see who's PM'ing who definitely makes the P a little less 'private' and a bit more 'public'. Just seems to defeat the purpose of the function somewhat.
I think just seeing that someone is PM'ing would be sufficient information for the Who's Online list. No need to say who they're actually writing to.
In response to your devil's advocacy
:
emailing is inconvenient as you have to go to the trouble of acquiring someone's email address. Same for MSN and the like - not everybody has this option.
p.s. Looks like you'll be getting a message from Jack soon
