Shouldn't be too hard and sounds like a good idea. Jan is at the moment
still working on the subscription dialog - correct? So I won't hack on
it now. But we could try adding that before the next release, or at

I haven't been too keen on that, although I suppose we might consider
adding that at some point. It would first pretty much require a
migration to Gecko for rendering, though - I'd rather not try and see
