   Hi Andrew,   
      
   One of my users has found and reported to me another issue with regards to   
   reading / listing private messages. While the fix in commit [942e85] works for   
   local, private echos, it does not take into account the possibillity of two   
   users having the same name (e.g. "Tom Smith") but different AKAs. Since the    
   fix   
   in [942e85] does not check the From / To addresses this may lead to the   
   possibility of a user"Tom Smith@1:2/3" reading and being able to list messages   
   for "Tom Smith@3:4/5".   
      
   I've already fixed the if (..) statments in mail.c (lines 1116, 1258 and 1909)   
   and will provide a proper pull request in the next few days. I just wanted to   
   inform you that there is still a security issue and that there is work being   
   done to fix it.   
      
   Kind regards,   
   Niels
