Any information about unusual status would have to be relayed as a single mail message in an otherwise-empty mailbox. However, in a web-based mail system, or a PB-based client, the ``mind'' object inside the web server (implemented with a dynamic page-viewing mechanism such as a Twisted Web Resource) or on the user's client program may be intelligent enough to respond to several ``server''-side interfaces. @return: A deferred which will fire a tuple of (interface, avatarAspect, logout).

The 'logout' object is a callable which will detach the mind from the avatar. It must be called when the user has conceptually disconnected from the service.
