Validate multiple fields and show multiple messages

[bj...@accenture.com]

Rather annoying problem, but I really don't know how to fix it.

I have a form, with 3 fields on it.  A field for UserName, one for E-mailaddress and a checkbox.  The username can't be equal to a given value (let's say "testing") and if you check the checkbox, the e-mailaddress is required.  

If both checks fail, I want to display 2 error messages, one for the username and one for the e-mailaddress. 

When the username is equal to the given value, I add this: actionMessages.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionMessage(req, validatorAction, field));

When the checkbox is checked, and the e-mailaddress is empty: 
actionMessages.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionMessage(req, validatorAction, field));
actionMessages.add(EMAIL, Resources.getActionMessage(req, validatorAction, field));
where EMAIL is the key for the e-mailaddress field.

When a field fails the checksum, I put the text on the labels in red, like this: 
<span <logic:messagesPresent property="txtEmail">class="errorMsg"</logic:messagesPresent>>
    <fmt:message key="createuser.email" bundle="${adminLabels}" />
</span>

The problem is, the error for the e-mailaddress is shown twice.  Is there a way to show the error once, but to put the labels both in red?
