I guess what the OP wants is something like the "you have x new message" that says "y new scout reports have been shared". Then people wouldn't have to manually copy the hashes and share them as messages.
Personally I don't think it's a huge problem, but it would be nice.
^this! It's so lame to copy your scribe notes, delete 'delete fresh' and send it to other people - even within the same army, just so they know you've done your job. Couldn't a small blue box be added (the same colour as reports) under standing orders? An extension of the current "There are X shared scribe notes"
I don't think reports should be shared outside of the army. Actively having to share them/send them around adds interaction as well as possible intrigue.
