Might it be nice if a separate window popped up which you could then just

worry about whether or not it was "safe" to close that window (i.e., whether
or not its local history went back before the reply).

I assume you mean that when you click "New" or "Reply", a separate window
would popup?  That would be very cool.

(Just a few minutes ago, I realized web-based-reading would be easier to
manage if I did a "open in new window" jump to go from the message-list pages
to the actual messages.  That way, I have a new window to play in to go
through the thread, make replies, etc.  When I'm done, I just close the extra
window, and I'm back to the message-list.  No more excessive back-jumping.)

If you meant that the confirmation message ("your post went through") would
popup in a new window, that would be bad.
