Not true. I use this idiom a lot: a lower level function throws an error message (e.g., integer format error), and a catch-block halfway up the call-chain modifies .msg to include contextual information (e.g., filename, line number) and rethrows the exception, so that at the top level the error message contains both context information and the low-level error message.
Shouldn't you be throwing a new exception, with the old exception wrapped inside?
