It doesn't display the messages. It displays a note saying "you have |

unread news items". |

Not really a good idea, a) because news items aren't tied directly to |
| 15 |
ebuilds, and b) because people like advance warning of "when you |
| 16 |
upgrade Apache, all hell will break loose!" rather than having it |
| 17 |
sprung on them suddenly when they're trying to do a quick update. |

Getting the news item in advance allows for planning. |
