Small suggestion: Mousing over the red envelope could tell me how many new messages there are.

Medium sized suggestion: A "what links to this?" button on posts.

Big suggestion: A search feature that only returns hits on posts, comments, and wiki pages, sorted by date or karma, filterable by author.

Multiple envelope images:
gray = no messages;
thin-lined red = 1-4 messages;
thick-lined red = 5-9 messages;
very-thick-lined red = 10-19 messages;
almost a filled red rectangle = more than 20 messages.
