As most of you know, there is no "Preview" mode in private messages. You only see what the message looks like after it has been sent. And, of course, there is no way to edit a message once it has been sent. So you type your message, hope that it looks OK and says what you want, then hit "Post Message," only to find out later, you messed up, inserted the wrong or a rotated photo, etc. Arrrgggghhhh! 
Well, I just discovered there is a solution that doesn't take much extra time or effort. This is not for everyone, but if you are a tad OCD and want to make your Private Messages better, here is what you can do:
Instead of starting a "new message," instead, compose your message as a "New Discussion" (a regular forum post)- type and format the text, insert, photos, etc. Then do a "preview" and fix errors, but DO NOT hit "Post Discussion."
If everything looks good, go back into the edit mode, copy everything including the photo codes, and paste it all into a "New Message." Then hit "Post Message." Go back into the discussion, if it is still there, cancel it. If the software has already automatically saved a draft you can select "My Drafts" and delete the draft (or any draft) by clicking on the tiny "x" at the far right.
