I played my turn in the multiplayer game, resigned to menu, then immediately loaded a single player game. The result was that the messages window was not cleared (screenshot attached).

Re: Messages from multiplayer game persisting in single player
Conversely, Private Messages (PM) in multi-player games are not preserved across logins. If player A "whispers" to player B, that text will be invisible to player B after they log out and log back in.
More inconveniently, one can only PM player who is logged into the server at the same time as you are.
If player A is logged on, and player B is not, attempting to "/pm B message" will result in an error, and the message is not sent. If if it was sent, player B wouldn't see it when they log on.
Clearly this is an issue when players are in different time zones, and thus rarely logged on at the same time.

It's not a bug, it's a feature! It's certainly not harmful, I was just a little surprised by it.Geoff the Medio wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 9:02 amThis could be argued to be working correctly / as intended...
Re: Messages from multiplayer game persisting in single player
Well it is a record of the messages you've received...Starting a new game doesn't necessarily change that. Personally I don't find it surprising. I wouldn't expect starting a new game to vacate all my previous messages.
