Hi Laurie,

I'm not sure I understand yet why JTAlert has to be so certain about 
double-click responses, WSJT-X isn't.

Also please review the behaviour of the latest development version as I 
did make changes to rationalize some of the more glaring omissions in 
the highlighting and double-click behaviour of general call messages. In 
particular:

QRZ <callsign> [<grid>]
CQDX <callsign> [<grid>]
CQ DX <callsign> [<grid>]

should be treated the same as:

CQ <callsign> [<grid>]

now. If the <callsign> word above is not acceptable to WSJT-X as a valid 
callsign, type1 compound callsign or type 2 compound callsign then 
WSJT-X cannot be expected to respond sensibly to a request to reply to 
that message.
