	True, but IMO these should be handled correctly by Mailman.  It 
should either ignore all delayed delivery warnings in all known 
formats, or it should treat them as a particular case of a bounce.

	I'll have to go back and check, but now that you mention it, I do 
seem to recall that there were a large number of messages which 
always referred to the same recipients.

	Now that is something I hadn't noticed.  Thanks for the info!
