Title: Easier access to Message Groups

Summary: Adding drop down menus to the Message Screen for easier access to view the conversations in a person's various groups.

Details: If I want to view the active conversation in a group I'm a member of the process is a little convoluted. I usually copy and paste the name of the group into the "recipient field", select the to AND from. Now I've got a nice message board of all the posts in that group, which is what I wanted all along. Unfortunately this isn't exactly obvious to people who hadn't already figured this out, "Oh, you can put a Group Name in there??" And if you're the member of a couple groups, you have to start all over again for each group.

My proposal is to add a drop down menu which is populated with groups the player is a member of. With one click they can access the ongoing conversation of a particular group.

Benefits: I imagine this would go a long way towards making IG communications within the game's various groups much more organized and accessible than the manual method of doing a manual search by recipient, as I don't think many realize that the recipient can be the name of a group.

Possible Exploits: None.
