Current PMs are a bit like email. Each message is stand-alone. Unless you quote the previous message, it's hard to put it into context. (Actually e-mail has perfect threading but not everyone uses it that way, also because many webmail interfaces don't support it).
Future PMs should be more like private threads. You always see the message history. Like is the case on Twitter, Hangouts, Whatsapp, Facebook, and whatnot.
Well, it would actually be relatively simple, when reading a PM, to also query other messages sent to / received from the same user(s) and then simply... show those too. (Regardless which message was actually replied to)
But that wouldn't be fancy.
And the internal data structure could use some optimizing (currently it creates many copies of the same message, one for each sender and recipient).
