If the strings don't fit in English, you can bet that most other languages won't fit either. Many languages, e.g. German, are in general a lot more verbose than English, and require room for this verbosity. So saying something to the effect of "I shortened an English word in order to fit in the window/dialog" is a strong indicator that you have got a lot more serious I18N problems... enough room in the windows/dialogs from start, in order to fit longer translated messages, is a key requirement for I18N. Furthermore, terminology consistency is very important for translation -- if "message" is what is used elsewhere in Evolution, it should be used here too.
