XF 2.2 How do I stop conversations blocking up my conversations list

[MartyFeldman]

I know the thread title sounds weird but bear with me please. If I, as Admin, message users I get a copy of the message in my conversations inbox. For example I might send a message to all users (thousands) asking them a question, the resulting answer and subsequent conversation I want kept between me and them not made public. I may get 15 or 20 or so respond but I also get a copy of every single message gone out in my inbox. Thus when I'm looking for a particular message therein I'm swamped by all the other messages and there appears to be no search function across the message inbox.

It's probably a simple setting I've missed in the Communications>messages area so perhaps someone would be kind enough to point me to it. Ideally I only want those conversations the user engages with to show up in my inbox.

Note I've only used messages a couple of times, I usually use Alerts or Notices when it's a forum wide public message.

TIA

Leave the conversation and it will no longer show.

Thanks.
Ideally though I’d like them not to appear unless someone responds. I’ve got 8000 of the things in my inbox .
ah well, I now not to send forum wide messages now.
