[ZendTo] Feature Request: Message of the Day

[Jules]

Nigel,

Good idea. Done.

The filename is set by a new preferences.php setting 
'systemAnnouncementFilePath'.
This is set to '' by default, so it will never display anything.
If you make it point to a file that doesn't exist, or it can't read, or 
is empty, it won't display anything.
Otherwise the contents of that file (which may contain HTML tags) will 
be shown as a "Notice" at the top of the login, logout and main-menu 
pages as you suggested.

It will be in the next beta.

Cheers,
Jules.
