Retrieving Archived messages

Hello everyone! So I archived some of my PMs under the impression I could get them back again when I wanted, since they weren't deleted but archived. Now I want to get one back and can't figure out how :(
As far as I know, an archived private message is only restored when someone replies to the message again.

This seems to be a recipe for chaos, frustration at constantly fractured and lost conversation threads and game invites. I was just invited to a game and thought I could close the message as it only makes sense that I would be able to go back to it. No such luck it disappeared in a puff of smoke. I didn't message the person because I thought I could go back to the conversation and it is unlikely they will post again in the room as they were waiting for me to reply but now my only hope is to dig through my browser history in hopes of retrieving the conversation. Most messaging inbox's allow you to not just read your messages but go back to them as there are endless reasons for wanting to re-read messages, re-message someone you just contacted and were hoping to game with. It is very very silly that a social network based on getting together and gaming has such a backwards messaging inbox. I hope this is read and given thought, thank you very much.

If you merely closed the message (not hitting "Archive") then you can easily find the message again, under Private Messages link at the top-right.

If he hit the "Archive button" then the message is gone till another person posts in that message but as Gold says if you just closed it it is still there in your inbox.
