Comment(by huhabla):

 A solution would be that parse_key_val() accepts only the first "=" to
 create the key value pair. In case of free form text, the reporting module
 should put the info in double quotes, escaping all other double quotes
 located in the message content.

 So parse_key_val() is able to detect any content with quotes and new lines
 as values.

 Using several different and between the modules inconsistent flags to
 print content in shell style is IMHO not a better solution.
