Currently I'm hacking it by using Keyboard Maestro to execute a timer which reloads the message URL every 3 seconds.
I guess much the same thing could be done using Javascript embedded in message.ijs? – if I knew any Javascript. Another expedient is to write out the message display to a textfile (~/message.txt) and open it using TextWrangler. This (unlike TextEdit) refreshes its display window whenever message.txt is rewritten. But these expedients are inelegant. I guess web browsers were not designed to do this sort of thing. (Or designed not to do this sort of thing?)
