I don't use that feature, so didn't notice that or get annoyed by
it.  It's possible that we could add code later to check whether the
response was in our local database (and recent) before bringing up
the popup.  Add it to the feature request list.

It's possible that UI-View didn't implement the REPLY-ACK protocol
and so isn't understanding our format for ack's...  Might be a while
before UI-View gets tweaked though, as the author (Roger Barker)
passed away two days ago.

It's also possible that we're not properly detecting the lack of
REPLY-ACK support on the other end and changing our ACK format to
match.
