Combined received+sent DM column #10

Fetch both lists, concatenate and then sort by timestamp. As a bonus, add the "conversation" button to DMs (suspect this also requires caching though :( ).

That old chestnut :)

I've actually wanted that feature myself for a while (same for mentions+user_timeline), but I've been holding off - not only does it multiply column load time by ~2.5, it's a bit of a conceptual jump as it would be the first SuccessWhale column that doesn't map directly to a single Twitter API call.

Any useful DM-conversation view (i.e. bringing up DMs that aren't on-screen anyway) would indeed require caching.

Done!
