Yes, but I have lots of experience that says normal users don't think that
way.

I posed the scenario to my wife. She thinks it'd be rude if you were
automatically pulled away from your current view, and made a comment about
something similar that Gmail does that bugs her. She's frequently shot down
my own ideas, and is a pretty astute beta tester. She's savvier than most,
but certainly not technical. FYI.

Maybe you want to be using the Virtual Inbox or something like it?
