While in the messaging area, when I click on a user to message them, I still want to be able to see the tags for the other users (as the screen changes to present a messaging area) so that I can select the next person to message without having to collapse the messaging area. When messaging a lot of people it becomes an unnecessary second step and a little annoying to have to click out and then back in.

Specifically, I'm looking to retain the visibility of the tags that are to the right of the person's name (not the tab sidebar). These are lost when the message are appears.
