Ack!  Where's the reply-to header?  Sorry for the duplicate mail Fre_ax,
but I meant to send to the list the first time.

Hooks into the UI are out of the question, obviously, so to me it seems
like there should be some way for the UI to check to see if these things
have changed.  If they have, then the UI can request the info, etc.
UI's who don't care about this data need not even check for it's
existance.  Timing can be the problem of the UI?  I'm not sure what is
involved with that part of the problem, though.
