A general remark: There are many, many messages that are screwed into
the code of Exim. Had I known just how widely Exim would be used, I
might have put more thought into designing a message system that was
more flexible. At this stage, however, it would be a huge amount of
effort to implement such a thing, and I do not think it is likely to
happen at all, let alone quickly. There is just too much else to do.
Obviously (I hope), allowing just one message to be changed is silly.
Tony's suggested workaround is probably the best thing to do.
