This is exactly what I am doing at the moment so I have no problem with
doing what I want, but since I rarely/never open any messages from the
ticker the flapping bat would just be a bit slicker IMHO.

I agree with you completely on this one, this was never intended to be a
childs cry for "more toys momma" :-) And you might well be right in that
it is a lot of work. My original idea was that you could substitute
and/or use it concurrently with the popping up of the ticker just by a
choice in the preferences.
