Description

I was attempting to send a single message through tw.o inter-user messaging system to chibaguy, dthacker, luci, marclaporte, mlpvolt, ricks99 (with or without spaces among the names)
All those user names are ok.
I got the message "not valid user" (or similar, translated from another lang), but no message on which user was not valid.
I would have expected the message to be sent to all the other users, and to see the name of the user with problems.

I sent the message to each user, one by one, and realized that the problem was that mlpvolt didn't allow to receive inter-user messages, not that his username was wrong.
A better initial error message would be desirable..., for better user experience of inter-user messaging

Solution
I would have expected the message to be sent to all the other users, and to see the name of the user with problems, reporting clearly what the problem was (not wrong username, but user not alowing messages to be sent to him).
