	Foreign trade summary Put an end to popups!

I occasionally see messages that a foreign nation has cancelled a trade route but I never see a message that they created it. Neither can I see what foreign nations are selling me. Is it possible to find this out? This would be useful in assessing the effect of a trade embargo. And shouldn't a trade embargo hit both sides, anyway?

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Hey, I've seen these messages too! What's up with that? Who decides what goods are up for sale? Can I put up goods for sale?

Also, sometimes I see in my trade summary, that an AI is pirating my trade route. But, when I visually follow the route, I don't see how they could be doing it.

What i noticed is that once they pirate a route, it stays pirated even after they move.

Alpha- I've seen the same thing too, but if you exit and reload the game, the 'colored' piracy flags disappear.

I believe the routes are no longer pirated, but a bug in the game is preventing the 'colored' piracy flags from resetting to white.

It seems kind of silly to have to save and reload just to find out if the offending civilization actually is upholding their end of the 'Stop Piracy Agreement', but that is the case.

Add it to the list of bugs- err, unintended features of this software.
