Hello,

I want to select the 10 last messages you received OR you sent TO different users.

For example the results must be shown like that : 
1. John1 - last message received 04/17/10 3:12 
2. Thomy - last message sent 04/16/10 1:26 
3. Pamela - last message received 04/12/10 3:51 
4. Freddy - last message received 03/28/10 9:00 
5. Jack - last message sent 03/20/10 4:53 
6. Tom - last message received 02/01/10 7:41 
.....

Table looks like :

CREATE TABLE `messages` ( 
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 
`time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 
`sender` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, 
`receiver` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, 
`content` text 
)

Have someone any solution ? Thanks in advance for your help.
