Plugin for personal messages system?

Hi all,

I'm kind of surprised there is no maintained plugin which can get me out-of-the box personal messages system.

The only two close things google cames up with is GitHub - psergi/acts_as_messageable: private messaging plugin for rails plugin (I would love to have some generic views also created for me, but this one doesn't seem to offer that).

And pretty old tutorial http://www.novawave.net/public/rails_messaging_tutorial.html .

And that's it.

I guess my only option then is to cannibalize some other open source project to get required functionality, but that is also on the verge of "better to write my own"?

TIA, Evgeniy

A quick search of the plugin directory turned up these results, in addition to the plugin you mentioned:

Easy_Messages

Restful_Easy_Messages

Simple Private Messages

acts_as_emailable

has_messages
