Hey Dave,
This is/has been a problem in a lot of places. Especially where the web message doesn't indicate to the customer that an agent has connected (unlike web chat where it was displayed)
The time to engagement was drawn out as agents found this out and used this as a way to either quiet park web messages or flat out not talk to a customer.
I've built a little app that takes care of a few of these issues around web message, and one part of these is the app/plugin will automatically start the engagement with the customer by sending a welcome message to the customer upon connection. This happens as soon as the agent answers the web chat and to the customer appears to show the agent typing/sending it.
From there, it's a lot harder to hide behind when the chat connected and the customer knows there is someone on the other end of the screen.
Get in touch if I can be of more help.
Side note, RWC is very right in his blog post, there are a lot of ways to catch this out after the fact and if you combine proactive with reactive you can stomp this out once and for all.
