If the lafite status window was a little bigger, you could add a (scrollable?) message history area. It would list the messages you''d sent, and number of recipients, etc.'
'
The little shrunk envelopes are useless, because you can''t expand them and do anything reasonable with them -- they just form useless screen clutter, scattered around.'
