Thanks Lisa.

I'm planning to have 'BN' as a custom message in 4.x. I'll have to try and convince customers to code to it.

There's another related issue - what message type is best suited to send the 'status' to counter parties of 'Accept' / 'Reject' / 'Pending Accept' / and so on?

Is there a message type that can be used to notify counter-party users of the other's actions?

Thanks again!
