Yes, it's possible using dedicated windows (for details: C-h f
set-window-dedicated-p). But it's a little trickier to use: if you call
it from a switch-function, it doesn't work when forwarding a message.
There's probably something in message-forward that causes the dedicated
flag to be reset to nil, but I could not find what.

So instead I wrote a little workaround that may be easier to use. I'll
send the commit as a reply.
