Each specific hold has both a "reason" and a "rejection notice" The
reason is what is displayed in the admindb (and elswhere) as the
reason why the post was held, and the rejection notice is the default
rejection notice. If you actually click the message # in the summary
listing of all held messages, you will go to a detail page where the
rejection notice is filled in by default and you can edit it, but if
you reject a message from the summary page, you get the generic "no
reason given" message.
