> Clicking a message would load the appropriate window (email, chat etc).
> Clicking the Email/Chat/Broadcast icons would load the appropriate program.
> Hovering over the Email/Chat/Broadcast icons for 0.3 seconds, see

> If the person you are chatting with has a profile picture, this would

> Other menu options would behave as now (change status, open chat window
