There is a big drawback, however:

The shareholder probably doesn't notice!

I have now searched my whole wallet,
and I could not find a single trace of the dividends payment.

Apart from the increased balance, of course.
Looks like a miraculously grown precious :-)

So ... perhaps there is additional need for communication?

It could look like this:

Dear shareholder of asset "beautiful",

   you might not have noticed, but in HZ block 580370
   your balance jumped up by 42 HZ, to then 68.10408183 HZ.

   That happened because in block 580366 you were holding
   21.0000 shares (50%) of asset 5903523947573024709, and
   the issuer decided to pay dividends, 2 HZ per 1.0000 asset.

   The dividendPayment was transaction 9318473567111208195, see
   explorer.horizonplatform.io/?page=transaction&id=9318473567111208195
   included in block 580370. The total amount was 57.7218 HZ plus fees.

   Enjoy your life
   :-)

Does anyone know if a newer version of NXT is showing dividendsPayments to the payee?
The we would get that with a future update of HZ, anyways.

If not, it would be worthwhile to put work into my shareholders.py and create the above messages.

Does HZ do plugins? This issue (strange that, by default, dividends didn't have any message for the user) was solved in NXT using this plugin: https://nxtforum.org/nxt-plugins/dividend-plugin/ Take a look at the code and drop it in if it works with HZ.
