Why not have an envelope icon?

Maybe also use css to make the headers look like buttons.

good idea. I use it.


One more issue: navigation box. I agree that in many cases it was more a 
nuisance then a help. But now, if we have some content which is 
hierarchical beyond the standard site structure, you have no "decent" 
way of navigating it.

Perhaps it would be useful to add "breadcrumbs" - a line like  "you are 
here: groups -> randomness -> weblabspedia -> etc.", where all these 
page names are links?
