Why is it that all subgift messages have exactly the same tags, wheter they are normal gift subs or from a mystery gift?  
It would make so many things easier, if they would have a simple tag “msg-param-from-mysterygift=0” or “msg-param-from-mysterygift=1”.  
Because a submysterygift ouputs a “msg-id=submysterygift” message in IRC an after that all the subgift messages.  
For alerts or automated messages this is a problem, because no one knows if a subgift is related to a mystery gift or not.
