How to customize error message

With this plugin, is there any way to customize error messages? There is one in particular that occurs when a Lost Password email fails to go out. This is sent from /includes/compat.php:

“The email could not be sent. Your site may not be correctly configured to send emails.”

I would like to customize that messaging to be more helpful to the end user, but I do not see any hooks or filters for it – only one for manipulating the email itself. Is this possible?

Which TML version are you using?

It would be nice if the option to edit error messaging was part of the plugin, but I did end up finding a workaround using a filter:

function my_custom_error_msg($error) {
    if ( str_contains($error, "The email could not be sent. Your site may not be correctly configured to send emails.") ) {
        $error = "<strong>Error:</strong> Your email address is not on file with us. Please contact an administrator for assistance.";
    }
    return $error;
}
add_filter('login_errors', 'my_custom_error_msg');
