Are outgoing PM's supposed to stay in "outbox"?

[Browncoat2112]

Just wondering if outgoing PM's are supposed to stay in the outbox or if they are supposed to go into the "Sent Items" folder? Have a couple that are out there and am just wondering if my messages are just sitting out there in a "waiting to be sent" state.

SENT MESSAGES will appear in either the OUTBOX or the SENT MESSAGES folder. As long as the recipient(s) have not yet read the message, it will stay in the OUTBOX. As soon as someone reads the message it will be archived to the SENT MESSAGES folder. If the administrator allows it, you can edit messages after sending them as long as they are in the OUTBOX and the recipients have not yet read them.

Ah, excellent Clayton...thanks! I can stop obsessing over this now.
