It's quite subtle that the incomplete log message is resumed later.
And that the message in `log message' is a different kind to `reading
message', i.e. the read message wasn't incomplete.

Could it instead be something like

    reading message [email protected]@pop.earthlink.net:1 of 1 (4706
        octets) (log-message to be continued)
    SMTP error: 501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax
    (log-message continued) not flushed
