hi, here's a patch for pm_block_user that adds a function to determine if a user may write a message to another user

* less code for you to maintain
* api for developers/themers to determine if a user is blocked or not

The hooks has changes, so this needs to be re-rolled and probably support multiple recipients.

re-patched for current dev

the part with less code is now irrelevant, but it's still an api for other modules

Hm, not sure.

You can use privatemsg_get_link, which will return an URL if you are allowed to send a message to someone. The difference is, that privatemsg_get_link() does not only use pm_block_user but it does also check all permissions and any other modules that might implement hook_privatemsg_block_message().

Also, this does not check the new rule-based configuration options, so I'm setting this to won't fix, feel free to re-open if you disagree.
