Comment:

 5176.02.patch is a cleaned up version of trishasalas's original patch
 (which has what appears to be an accidental deletion in it).

 I think this is close to what you want. However, it's worth noting the
 specific way that the `last_message_*` stuff is calculated, both in the
 `_excerpt()` function and this new function. Consider the following
 exchange:

 Boone to Trisha: Hi
 Trisha to Boone: Yo
 Boone to Trisha: Cool

 a) When viewing your Inbox, the `last_message` is the most recent message
 in that thread of which you are *not* the author. So
 `bp_get_message_thread_content()` returns 'Yo' when I am viewing my own
 inbox.
 b) When viewing your Sentbox, `last_message` is the most recent message in
 that thread of which you *are* the member.
 `bp_get_message_thread_content()` returns 'Cool' when I'm viewing my
 Sentbox.

 I can see how this makes sense in a way, but in any case, I want to make
 sure that everyone understands it and agrees that this is how the new
 message templates are supposed to work.
