The Message View

The Message module comes packaged with a Message view (see below).

If you edit the default view you can see the three fields listed that comprise the view. Note the relationship that has been added to link the users table and the message table.

The field "Message: Render message (Get text)" is used to render the message text field. The field formatter (see the form below) allows you to partially render the message text multivalue field by selecting one of the "Partials" (delta) values.
