Is there a way

to read a message in the inbox of a team still waiting to draft?

I think so. Copy this link and paste when yoy are in the awaiting league:
http://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/inbox

Yeah, that worked. Actually, when you are in the front office, the browser is on a page whose address ends in /frontoffice. I just replaced that with /inbox and there it was.

Thanks!
