Out of curiosity, how much information are you trying to insert into the
error message such that it causes you problems?  I use the following line
for messages that score above my highest threshold.  For really spammy
messages, this line can get rather long, but hasn't produced any problems to
the best of my knowledge.  Any false positive submitters have been able to
include the expanded error message in their report.

action_bounce("Message appears to be Spam. Matched $names for a score of
$hits.");
