Hello! It would be extremely helpful to **include the dates of the request** (both the host/me and the guest) **in the messages layout.** I have pages of requests that I am trying to manage and I have to keep opening each message to remind me when the request is for - if that informationw as on the top level it woudl save me SO.

> I’ve started to get multiple requests from the HomeExchange community to stay in our home - especially in school holidays. Often people want overlapping days. I’d really appreciate a view that shows who is requesting which dates.
