To fix this flaw please open modules/Private_Messages/index.php in any text editor and follow the following instruction posted.... Find:
$pm_sql_user .= "AND ( ( pm.privmsgs_to_userid = " . $userdata['user_id'] . "
Replace with:
$pm_sql_user = "AND ( ( pm.privmsgs_to_userid = " . $userdata['user_id'] . "
The difference between the two lines is the deleted dot after $pm_sql_user.
