Private messages can only be owned at a time by one person. Think of them as a letter you send by snail mail, and you write on the same paper. The only way the other person will get to see it is if you send it back (and you don't have a copy anymore). The only way to avoid it id to write a new message, and not reply.

hope that helped

Sorry, JJ. The board isn't meant to act as a mail server. An easy way to keep your private messages is to turn on e-mail notification of them in your profile.
