Yeah, I'm working on that. Not getting Windows to respect browser

choice; that's asking way too much! ;-) I'm going to modify the

message page so that it knows it's being called from the task pane, and

will feature an easy way to return to the search page. Once that's

done, the page links will open up in the task pane.

Oops! Sorry about that. About half of my time developing this was

getting the browser display to resize with the task pane, and those

calls were debugging I put in to let me know when the Resize() method

was being called. They'll be gone in the next version.
