[ZendTo] Feature Request: Message of the Day

[Jules]

P.S. I've just put out 5.20-1 beta with this in it (as well as a nice 
new "Download All Files as a Zip" button on the downloads page to help 
out our users!). I just haven't announced it at all as I haven't done 
enough testing yet.

But feel free to download it if you're interested.

Cheers,
Jules.
