Actually no, I don't think I would want to put messages into the modeline. As I understand it I have multiple modelines on my screen - one for each window, and that would be unnecessary duplication of information.

Thanks for the code, though - I'm sure that would be useful to somebody (I suspect many people won't be as opposed to putting echo messages into the mode line as I am).
