I like this new look, if I must say so myself!  No more overwriting the
line and starting the error message with just a :.  Hopefully it clues
more people in to the real problem with less frustration now that the \r
shows up in the error message.

But still, I can't help wonder if this email exchange was worth a *sip* or
not.
