I think if you can say ":defer:" you could also say ":defer:Message" or
something similar, in much the same way as you can say ":fail:Message",
but it would only appear when some kind of DSN was generated later; if
you've already completed the SMTP transaction you've no other way of
getting the message outside of exim.
