Show my partner's name or avatar in a PM, and whether they're connected (accepted)
I want to see my partner's name or their avatar in a PM, and have an indicator attached to it of whether they're present in the PM or not. This should replace the userlist for a PM.
I want their name or avatar there as a link to their profile, so that I can always check their interests or other profile details whilst we're talking. (This is related to reasoning expressed in another feedback.)
I want the online indicator because the whole user list is redundant in a PM - I already know whether I'm connected, and there's only one other user I care about checking. A little symbol that expresses "connected!" does that for me.

At this point, we could ditch the PM heading of "Conversation between..." completely. Just replace it with:
PM · Velus and (partner's name and icon & online indicator)
Or even just their online indicator, since I'm already told which of my characters it's from if it automatically chooses them.
A side benefit of the title change would be that tab titles could be more informative. Right now it just shows:
Conversation between Ve...
or otherwise the first two or three letters of my partner's name. Not very informative, and doesn't let me quickly identify which PM tab is which. I instead could see:
PM · Velus · Wrecked Ave...
which is way more informative! But I already know who I'm PMing as, most of the time - I only have one PM open with that character. That's the most important part! So let's put that part first:
PM · Wrecked Avent · Vel...
Even better! Now I can identify at a glance exactly which PM window is with who. In the less common case where I have two PMs open with the same person, I might get a glance at my character's names (if theirs isn't very long) or otherwise i just have to check 1 or 2 tabs, and I'll probably know which one is which.
Got something to say?
