The trailer() hook is currently passed one variable: whether the  
message is in HTML format (true) or plaintext (false).

It probably does make sense to provide an additional parameter to  
trailer() to indicate the current identity.  Although briefly looking  
at the code, the location where we call the trailer hook does not have  
ready access to that information.
