I love the message center feature, but the main thread list has one serious shortcoming that I'd love to see addressed.

Here's the scenario:

Three different people send you messages and you reply to each of them with "Ok thanks".

Here's the problem:

You're message center now has three threads that appear to be exactly the same with no context of who the original message was from.   Each thread  shows:

1) Your Profile Pic
2) From You
3) To You.

This is not the most useful set of information.

I realize that there are some issue that arise because the thread could include more than 2 users, but this is also how facebook works and they handle it in a way such that you still have context as to who the thread is from/to when you are the last one to reply.

I would propose the following:

1) When a message is between two users, the profile pic for the thread should always show the "other" user.

2) When the message is between multiple users, the profile pic should be for the last person other than you who contributed to the thread.

In both cases, the to/from fields should be adjusted appropriately.
