Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm confused when I send intermediary payments e.g. 1 TTT sent node1 -> node2(intermediary) -> node3.
For node 1, the sender can see 1 token sent in his/her payment history, 1.021 tokens deducted.
For node 2, the intermediary can see the total tokens increase (+.021) from the intermediary fee although it's slightly ambiguous.
For node 3, the recipient can see 1.021 incoming tokens in their transaction history. This is confusing, especially if the receiver has no other context behind the transaction. The sender can't send 1.021.
This screenshot shows node1 (left) and node3 (right) in a scenario where node1 sends 1 token -> node 3. I got confused where the 1.021 came from so I tried to send 1.021 back (failed). Then I tried to send just 1 back (times out because I don't have enough fees to pay node 2).

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Node1: A mention of 0.021 tokens being paid as intermediary fees (or what the fees will be), potentially with a "Don't show this message again" checkbox.
Node2: Not sure. Some way to view and have a clearer idea where the fees collected came from.
Node3: Simply 1 token received. I assume the average user won't care how much the sender paid in intermediary fees, or maybe they very rarely care it can still be displayable if the non-average user opens some type of Transaction Details.

Thanks a lot for the issue! The handling of fees is indeed a big issue in the WebUI.

From your screenshot i can see that node3 has 1.021 TTT in the top networks section (next to transfer button). Did you do a deposit or has node3 received 1.021 TTT in the transfer?
