Actually, it doesn't.  It sends error messages to *the other person*
using inject_message.  It sends error messages to you with the notify
callback (if a window should be popped up) or just by setting *messagep
(if it should be displayed inline).  [It used to be that all messages
were displayed ouot-of-band in a popup, but people got annoyed at that
really fast.]
