Hi Craig, There is an old joke. A man goes to a doctor and says it hurts every time I raise my arm up high and in this fashion. The doctor says, then don't do that anymore. ;-)
Jokes aside, it's been my experience that due to nature of the message box and what it must do, there are quite a number of things that don't work the same when executed out of the message box. So, while it may initially appear "quicker" to test out of the message box, I find, in the long run, that when working with something I am unfamiliar with, it takes less time to create a button and test out of a button and reserve message box use for things I am familiar with and already know work from the message box. This may not be satisfying from a purist point of view, but like the doctor's advice, it is pragmatic.
