Well, "pretty short" is one requirement, since some MUAs show only the first
line and others show only the last line of multiline errors. (And others
show a little icon which "nobody" notices.) Given pine's truncation to just
the last word (thanks, Guiliano), you're even more restricted if you have
pine users.

Your users will probably object if all error messages are the one word
"bozo". ;-)

Best to bounce to your users, leaving SMTP time rejection to the world's
machines.
