When I read I select a topic (AA, for instance), select threads and use the back button to review the menu at the topic, then go on through the whole menu. When I reply to a message I get returned to the thread where I was, but after that I can't use my back button effectively. So, it seems to me it might be useful for me and others to have the reply functions open in a new window so that when I'm done, send, close, I'm back right where I started. Many/most/all? of the URL's embedded in messages do this.
