Minor problems with messages to users

[Julian Field]

This will be a configurable feature in the new release, which is due out 
shortly.
So if you can wait a few days, you can save yourselves a lot of work.
If you want to beta-test the new version (and hence get this feature early) 
then give me a shout.

Jules.
