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.
