Consistency is a good point.
What's more, these messages don't differentiate between something that
is impossible to do (mutt refuses to do):

and those which failed:

Like in Postgresql's example, past tense would be nice for those which
failed.
(And what's with all those exclamation marks?!!eleven!!)
But that's just my 2 øre. I'm sure this needs a discussion and
guideline, as you suggested, before the whole code is reworded and
retranslated. :)
