The code does not have any restriction on the number of digits in the
label. Was the label perhaps just too long, and getting chopped off when
displayed? There does seem to be enough room for at least 3 digits though.

There is no direct way to do this. Running a single queue runner would
limit it to a single message delivery at a time except if it finds
several messages down the same SMTP channel. (That could be stopped by
setting batch_max in the SMTP transport.)
