   And, as I also mentioned, besides the sorting option, I'd also like the   
   input box to send a new message positioned at the top.  Then the precept   
   the input box and latest message being next to each other still holds.   
      
   Oh well, no configurability by user of the Messages app.  One of the   
   reasons why I stuck with Firefox for so long (years) was its   
   configurability.
