UU transfer messaging against scamming

If you send someone UU directly you get a PM telling you who you sent it to. One of the problems is that scammers simply delete that PM, leaving you with no idea as to who it was sent to.
How about making that PM undeletable for a week or so? I don't think it will stop scamming, but it might be one small step and help a few ppl.
Pros - an additional measure against scamming.
Cons - extra server processing time? Coding difficulty?

Some people liek to delete mail to keep it tidy, maybe a message vault where all mail is stored for 3 months then it deletes like it does already i think.
So this is only accessed when you want to find something you deleted, which wont be that often as If you thought you'd need it later you'd have stored it in the save box

I didn't mind this suggestion against this Tacet -
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=125020All resource transfers go into the broker logs regardless of if they were direct sent or actually brokers. (sorry if the topic doesn't start that way but it gets there eventually, I remember.)

Lol, it's not much reading. I prefer their idea - it uses an existing infrastructure to keep the records, making coding easier. Also, it keeps spam out of your inbox.
