Public vs Private messages on finds

I was wondering if there is a way to have the private messages on a find somehow listed in a seperate section under the Box Comments that only the owner of the box can see. Presently the only way to keep private messages is the keep them in you mailbox.

You can also copy those private messages and save them in the box notes section.

I agree with that but hoping that a new section could be put onto the Box Comments page that will list private messages below public messages.

I frequently get private messages that are not relevant to the box status, but just chit chat from the finder. I think having all those messages automatically saved to the listing would 'junk up' the listing, rather than be useful. Maybe there could be an "option" to save a private message that is meaningful for a specific box, instead of automatically saving them all? But it's not that difficult to copy and save to 'notes', as already exists.

Yeah, we save any that we deem save-worthy to notes. I don’t find to be all that troublesome.
