How about just a mode-line indicator for ``Something has been added
to *Messages* without appearing in the echo area''?
As a starter proposal, we could make something that turns many/all
of the -'s from %- in mode-line format into !'s, and then bind a command
to C-h ! that displays the messages.
If color is available, we could splash some on. If mouse support is
available, make it clickable. If tooltips... etc.
