I like the solution, though I would prefer to keep as much code on the User side (in this scenario) as possible. To that effect, and with the inclusion of AREL into Rails 3, you can do this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
...
has_many :user_conversations
has_many :conversations, :through => :user_conversations

def messages
Message.where(:user_conversations => conversations)
end
end

This will remove any need to add an extra method on the Messages side of the relationship.

Thank you - this was a big help to me! :)

Thanks for sharing

There is an open ticket (6461 in Trac and 1152 in Lighthouse) to support this in Rails.
