The article "the" before messages



He shouldn't have posted the PM's that were meant to be private. [PM = Private message]




Is the above sentence correct if we are talking about specific messages? Suppose that, on a forum that I am on, one poster sent 2-4 messages to another person in private, who then posted the screenshots of those messages. So wasn't I supposed to say he has "posted THE messages" (I have those 2-4 messages in my mind when I was talking about them there) instead of "posted messages"?



Is "the screenshots of those messages" or simply "screenshots of those messages" correct?
