How find private messages sent to me?

Question

I just received a private message via email from a user that was not logged in.  Unfortunately, part of the email message got cut off somewhere (It seems the system sends whole paragraphs as single long lines, which can get truncated out in the wild, but that's another matter).

I'd like to read the whole message, but can't find it anywhere on my profile page or anywhere else.  I see several messages asking how to find sent messages, but I'm asking about a received message.

Where do I find private messages sent to me?

I've never had any PM truncated in any email.

Sure the message may not be wrapped to the next line, but in the email you can scroll to the end of the long line to read the whole message.

I usually copy the message to a notepad page in order to read it correctly

No, the message is actually truncated.  I did file>save to a file in the email client and looked at the actual message as received over SMTP.

Sending whole paragraphs as single long lines is really not a good thing.  Somewhere along the line, bad things can happen, as apparently did in this case.  If I remember right, SMTP only guarantees lines up to 1024 characters won't get truncated.  Paragraphs, however, can be arbitrarily long.

As far as I know, WikiTree private messages are only sent via email, and there is no way to view them on the WikiTree site. I think people have requested this feature of archived private messages on the WikiTree server to become available, but as of yet, I don't think anything has been developed.

OK, thanks for your help.
