8-)  Bear in mind that we're not talking about a web *site* here, but a
web *application*.  Lots of the bad things about frames are only a problem
for web *sites*.

That would make the page absolutely huge, given that you'd need to embed
all that information for every message.  And it's even less portable to
different browsers than frames are.

I don't believe there's *anyone* completely without frames these days.
Even Lynx supports frames, in that it will give you a list of the frames
in a frameset and let you choose which one to view, so it's just one extra
click (click? what do Lynx users do? stroke? let's not go there).
