Marc, you need to give us more help when asking questions. It would help
you to generate less incoming flak if you told us from the start how far
you've got in your own investigations. For example, you could say which
sections of the documentation you've read, and you could say what the
variable does contain.

My reading of the documentation is that it isn't clear on this. Reading
section 39.35 in conjunction with 39.31 suggests that maybe the fourth line
of $acl_verify_message contains the text that you want. However, you say it
doesn't contain that text. Well, tell us what does it contain?

I'd like to suggest that these two sections of the documentation should
cross reference each other, since it isn't obvious to me that my conclusion
is correct.
