Something that would be _really_ cool but perhaps hard to implement would be
if when a zephyrgram came up, it automatically killed off the ping message
associated with it. Ping messages are very useful so you can see who's in
the middle of zwriting you, but it's a pain to kill off every zephyrgram
twice (once for the message and once for the ping). If this were implemented,
the ping messages up on the screen would serve as a record of who has started
to zwrite you, but hasn't finished yet. It would also cut in half the number
of times that I have to send the cursor up into the corner of the screen to
kill a message.
