Just an idea to throw in:

1) Chat Window (always a tab at the bottom): 

   Chat messages only (plus time or year)

2) Output Window (always a tab at the bottom): 

   *All* messages (Level 0) (including AI diplochatting)

3) Message Window (a tab at the bottom or a popup window (User's choice):

   Level 1 configurable messages

4) Alert window (always a popup):

   Level 2 configurable messages

This eleminates Level 0 messages configuration in message options dialog

Reasoning: Chat is only occasionally, a red tab text will alert me to it.
Output window guarantees that no messages get lost (can scroll back).
