It might help some if the selector inside a message box were visually 
distinct from the rest of the message.  Like the little tag widget in QT 
that's often used in email apps to show someone's nickname and hide the 
addy.  It's basically a rounded rectangle in a pastel color around some 
text.

You could also have different colors for built-ins vs. custom selectors.
