The Message Thread Object

Message Thread is the heart of all messaging-related events inside Elation.

Every time a new message is sent in a chart, a Message Thread is created with its respective Thread Members (the sender and receiver(s)) and Thread Messages (beginning with the initial message itself).

Every time a reply is sent, a new Thread Message is created inside the Message Thread, and its new receivers (if any) are added as Thread Members as well.
