A new patch in the same location now does that - after thinking about it 
for a while I agree that it's useful to have titles other than the main one.

The current Mosaic patch takes the first line's TITLE as the main title 
(used as window title and in history) and prints all other TITLEs as 
bolded info lines. Looks pretty good to me.
