Simple, keep a list of memos sent by a user, as is currently done for 
memos received by a user - both lists point to the memo itself, which 
is separate.  Link the memo itself back to the users, too.  This 
would allow for the sender to check status, and even cancel the memo 
if that proved to be a desirable feature.
