If you set a simple "msg" field with no id, it will replace the entire message output with that one message
[session msg "whatever"] If I do [session msg_1 "more"] it will append that to the message array, or be available as a specific message. Of course it will be overridden in [messages] if there is a simple "msg" field in the form. Cheers, Dan P.S. I do wonder if we want different styling for sub messages? For example, the main message may be in a nice message box. The sub message might just be colored text near the input box. Having multiple message boxes in the default skin look a bit unweildy. I'm thinking perhaps class messageid as opposed to class message?
