I don't think it's specific to the demime code.  Rather exim does it for any
message that gets rejected.  Here is a sample from my rejectlog that was
rejected b/ of a high spamassassin score:

As you can see, this also includes a bunch of the headers.

I cannot explain why you see multi-line stuff for demime only when using syslog.
Again, I've never used syslog with exim so I cannot make a good comparison.
