View submission: Announcing Subreddit 2 Subreddit Modmail
Feature Request: If we're a mod in both subs, could it merge it into one modmail somehow? Not sure if that's possible, but I can see it being annoying to have two unreads for every new message.

I actually ended up writing a fair bit of code just to cover this case. :)
We considered this but it ended up super hairy. For example: private mod notes on a thread, archiving a conversation, highlighting it - all of those are things that aren't shared between two views of a conversation. If you went to highlight the conversation, for which subreddit are you highlighting it?
Ultimately even though it's a little weird when you're a mod of both subreddits, we felt like keeping them split was really the only way it'd work cleanly.
