Don't use a message box.

I've used both Icarus on ICC and ChessClient on ICC and FICS.
Both applications have a separate subwindow for messages, including draw and
abort offers.  Messages are displayed asynchronously, without the forced
response required of a message box, and no action is required to 'dismiss' a
message or to decline an offer.  Accepting a draw or abort offer means pushing a
button.  Simple, and it prevents the abuse cases that Playchess is apparently
vulnerable to.
