That's to try to keep the size of the logs down.

Nice idea noted. Could involve some considerable surgery, however,
because some of the code is along the lines of
if ( (function_a() || function_b()) && !function_c() )
reject the message
so disentangling exactly what the condition was would require keeping
track of what the different functions (which typically search lists)
returned.
Nevertheless, I'll see what I can do when I get to this.
