What I am referring to:

The popup informing of the "unknown message type" is a
rather intrusive <message box widget>.

We could remove the popup and inform the user by writing
something into the status line at the bottom of the GNUmed
client. That would be much less intrusive.

Alternatively we could also do "nothing" if the message is
of "unknown type".
