I haven't seen that those warnings contain more text after the
subject. Now I see that there is much more.

Number of those warnings depends on visited summary buffer. I can see
that some warnings are about messages I don't have anymore (I've
probably deleted them some time ago).

Below first part and last part of warnings generated for some
group.

If you need some additional info just send me instructions how to get
it.
