Default Links to outside sites in messages should spawn a new window/tab

instead of sending us away from AW.

It's kind of a web design standard, at least for URLs that are on different sites. Maybe a check box to spawn a new tab/window?

target = "_blank" or something like that, eh?

Default ctrl-click in Firefox

I disagree with your suggestion... I don't think that you should screw with standard functionality that way. And ctrl-click or whatever is easy enough.
