Me too.  So I implemented this (well, it's currently not configurable,
essentially hardcoded at 5).  Also what do you think of the following
error format?  That's about as close as I'm going to get for the next
release.  Still have a bunch of testing to do on MailCommandHandler.py 
before I check it in.
