Message : you have received x requests

Hi,

I found that receiving emails from each buddy request will be quite exhausting for a busy site, and would prefer that when a user logs in, has a consistent message (perhaps in page.tpl?)

'you have x number of buddy requests, continue to buddylist/requests'.

Perhaps something similar to the following ..

<?php
  global $user;
  buddylist_setmsg_received($user->uid);
?>

Is there perhaps another way to do this? I've tried the workflow-ng, but only seems to send emails on buddy requests.

Look so forward to any reply, and thank you.
