Hi!

I’m using CAPTCHA plugin ([http://github.com/zendesk/captcha/tree](http://github.com/zendesk/captcha/tree)).  
When CAPTCHA validation fails the error message is added to  
flash[“error”].

How can I add the CAPTCHA error message to the model validation  
messages? Also I would like the CAPTCHA text field to be wrapped in

.

TIA!
