#12487: Create separate window for nicksaid messages
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------

 Version:  2.7.3    |    Keywords:  notification nicksaid
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Most of the nicksaid plugins assume you are at your terminal, just not
 actively reading the chat. I would like a separate window that pops up and
 starts logging the nicksaid messages (with surrounding context even). If I
 am in a chat and break for lunch, I can come back and see all the
 "nicksaid" messages in one window rather than scrolling/searching back in
 the chat history.

 A separate window is required (versus searching the history) because the
 notification needs to be "in your face". If people have to do work
 (search) they will tend to ignore their nicksaid messages - if a plugin at
 least pops up a window (and leaves it there) - then they have to "actively
 ignore" their nicksaid messages.
