Error reports are always sent by the server to client in full. It's up
to the client to do interesting things to them; psql is able to display
it in full, or only the most interesting bits, by changing the
"verbosity", which is what \set does. This does not change anything in
the server. This means that if you want pgAdmin to display less of the
message, it's something that pgAdmin must be told to do. Perhaps having
a less verbose mode is just not implemented, or maybe it's a preference
option you can change.
