Maybe this is already in the works somewhere... related in some way maybe to #341370: Add "Send msg to author" link to selected node types

Currently, when making Views of comments or forum post nodes, it's easy to add an email address field for the node author or comment author. I'd love to see a "send PM link" field available there.

Maybe this has more to do with Actions or Views Actions? I'm not sure how all that works together.

I see that Views Bulk Operations http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations
Can do this if "send PM to user" is made available as an Action

Title: Expose "send message to this user" to Views » Expose "send message to this user" to Actions (and Views)

changing title... this more about Actions than Views

It seems that VBO can also handle Rules actions. There is already a Rules integration sub-module available for testing at #327938: Rules Integration. Beneath other things, it provides a "Send new private message" action. I suggest to test this module and report there if it does work or not, I will close this issue as duplicate.
