I haven't looked at the code, but it is probably using MessageBox(Ex), which doesn't allow that. Coding an extended messagebox isn't *that* hard, but, it is still work that takes motivation to do. The second best, and quickest, would be for a patch to show up implementing Thorsten's suggestion that cfg pointed out. Until someone steps up to do the work, this discussion is just going to fade out and die.
