I didn't realize that I need this feature until today. Just like there is a "Report This Post" button on the Posts, I think there also should be a "Report This PM" button on PMs as well.

The Report This PM button should:

Forwards the PM intact (without allowing the person complaining about it to edit it).
Allows the person reporting it to add a comment saying why they are reporting it.
The complaint should be sent to the Admin's PM box and e-mail, and optionally to the moderators, or to a designated Moderator or Admin.

The problem with the current system is that:

Some people do not realize that they can report PMs or are not sure how to use the forward feature (i.e. newbies).
The Admin cannot see the PM unless someone forwards it to them.
It is possible to forge the forwarded PM to have it says something that the original does not in order to get someone else in trouble.
The Admin has no way to verify that the forwarded PM was forged.

This may be a feature that should be added in upcoming versions.
