When somebody sends you message Chatzilla in Windows starts flashing window
header and its button at taskbar, same ability absent in os/2 version.

May be it will be better to use new mail button in system tray for this.

Actual Results:  
no visual indication available.

Expected Results:  
Show Chatzilla icon at new message button at OS/2 system tray

I think windows has an api to accomplish this.
The only way I have seen this accomplished on OS/2 was in a Java program that
when a new message was received it changed the window title every few seconds
until you open it.  It may be possible to do something similar.

It is not necessary to change window title.

May be the best way will be to use "new mail " icon in system tray for message
indication, because very often Chatzilla's window is minimized and changing
color of it header is useless.

In Windows - taskbar creates such indication for chatzilla button

The OS/2 smart bar was not really intended for this, and you can't guarantee
this is available to the user.

Yes, someone can really don't use WarpCenter.

May be simple popup window like at windows version of mozilla mail ?
When new message arrives - small window popups at right lower corner of screen.
