There are too many ways for the user to leave that the browser has
little or no knowledge or control over.  The user can click any link
on the top menu, any link on the left frame, navigate to another site
by clicking a bookmark or typing something in the address bar, etc
etc.

Instead, the current best solution is to simply save the message contents:
