John,

I think what he meant by "Inside the Box" is:

An individual message is treated as everything from "To:..." until the end of the users input text.

There are 2 lines of formatted output:

"To: User1 who wrote (number)" at the left edge and a "date/time stamp" on the right

then:

"From: User2" on the left edge and "Respond to post # number of number" (on the right

Where values in italics are specific to the post and are links.

If, for example, a third line were generate on the right side of the page that said:

View Replies

just under the Respond text, it would be contained within each individual message and would always be present with a post, regardless of the method used to view it. (It is also irritating not to be able to look at the replies to a particular post when viewing 10 at a time.)
