Yesterday I said I had connected this up to a warning dialog. I was wrong
- I connected mutt_error up to the callback to create a dialog containing
a list of warnings, I did nothing with mutt_message.

Perhaps we could change the warning list dialog into a messages list
dialog, and hook mutt_message up to it as well.

Then we could have options:
Show Message Dialog:
     *  Never
     *  On Errors Only
     *  On Any Message
[X] Show meesage in status bar

or something

then it would make sense to define a balsa_message function and make
copius use of it throughout the balsa code... (well, not too copious - but
in preference to any g_print's etc)..

What do people think? If I don't hear before I get home, I might start
hacking this up...
