We could worry about an embeddable solution, later.
if you have any ideas how to refine this plugin to a more general one, be my guest and take what you see fit, of course. > While at it, some comments on the "Prepare within subject data" plugin: > - The dialog does not have a caption, somehow. oops, forgot to set a dialog label... fixed. > - Using "attach" may be slightly dangerous.
