Not sure if this is a new idea but it's certainly a suggestion.
When you send a DM/PM to someone on the same screen, it appears in green in the top left hand corner of the screen. This isn't a problem as it doesn't interrupt game play.
When you send such a message to someone on another screen, it blocks your vision /gameplay until you tick to say you've read it. This can be frustrating at times.
Could these long distance messages simply not appear in green (or a different colour if people want to differentiate between the two) in the same format as the DM/PM messages? Then there would be no interruption.

Re: Long distance messages
As I recall from a similar thread, I think we should have a notification (number) on one of our menus, thus allowing us to view DM's at our leisure - this would eliminate interruption when fleeing from a mob of baddies or when in a PvP scenario.
I hope this suggestion gets the needed attention.
Good post, Leone.
