David, here's something that you could put in your home stack.  It lets you
command-shift-m to toggle the message box if it should be hidden somehow.
Good luck.

on hide w
  if w="menubar" then put "trapped menubar" into msg
  else pass hide
end hide
on domenu w
  if w="message" and (the shiftKey is up)
  then put "trapped message" into msg
  else pass domenu
end domenu
