I've been playing around with the wallet, trying different recovery methods. I copied the private key off and then moved the wallet data to another location, starting a new wallet by first importing the copied private key. The wallet is sync'ed again and balances look good. I can see the evidence of messages I sent, but the message text is blank.

I'm trying to understand the nuances of the wallet and how messages work. Why can I no longer see the text of the messages in this scenario?
DigitalNote XDN private messages are anonymous and untraceable, moreover, ONLY recipient can decrypt it.
When you send your message your wallet saves it local on your pc, but if you lost that saved data (in .wallet file) and make .keys backup, you can`t know your messages from blockchain, because ONLY recipient can decrypt it and read it from blockchain.
