I haven't actually tested this, but looking at the ReplyMessage docs, it
looks like the value passed is the return value of SendMessage, and thus
should be individually considered for each message.

Given that the most common reason for SendMessage rather than PostMessage is
to get the return value, I don't think it is wise to simply return a generic
value.

I think we should defer adding this code to setup until there is code in a
secondary thread that will actually make use of it, and take care to set a
correct return value at that time.
