And hopefully have the priority set highest for the one at which you've
last been 'active'.

Or have the message to to every logged in client, then the act of you
reading the message send _another_ message to every client but this one
with a flag set saying "msgid $n has been read" so they don't display
it as new when you get back to the other clients.

Ouch.
