Two thoughts for empty messages

Don't even try to open the msg when link is clicked on - use a different url to go direct to a special reply editing page

Don't use visited/unvisited colors as visiting an empty msg would be an invalid concept
Notes:

Don't even try to open the msg

empty msg reply page would not need quote message 'button'.

The text at the top of the page could read: Post reply to the empty message by User Name

there would be no need for the msg preview bubble

all these changes suggest 2 reply pages: one for full msgs and one for empty
Don't use visited/unvisited colors
this would save space in cookies (or wherever the visited msgs info is held)

I applaud you thinking out loud, but none of this seems very intuitive; if it's right, it should be obvious.
