Cool feature. Of course the administrator needs to implement a periodic
sweep of the done queue to secondary storage or provide enough disk space
to cover the expected message rate for the entire retension period :-)

Does this mean that it is finally safe to assume that every REC_TYPE_DONE
record in the envelope and extracted segments was originally a message
recipient? Presumably all messages in the saved queue will have only
REC_TYPE_DONE records in place of REC_TYPE_RCPT records?
