Hi tom -
This is great stuff. One of my websites have, however, integrated the 
login form into their own site. The login_hook does not work there. Is 
there any way you can get this plugin to also hook into the part which 
gives the error message? (this ususally has webmail.php at the end) and 
gives the error:

"You must be logged in to access this page or your session has expired."

It would be cool to have your warning appear under that message as well 
if the reason for the message was indeed to do with disallowed cookies.

What do you think?
