Or instead of letting the message go through and redirect to the error template, you can modify the javascript in the template that checks the message length by adding this:

	if (postmaxchars != 0) {
		if (theform.message.value.length < 30) {
			alert("Your message is too short.\n\nIncrease your message to 5.\nIt is currently "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long.");
			return false; }
		else { return true; }
	} else { return true; }
}

Untested, but should work. Advantage is that a message pops up if the post is too short (just like if it's too long) instead of redirecting the whole page. Disadvantage is that you have to change the code in newreply, newthread and quickreply.
