	I should really look deeper into it, but one thing comes
	to my mind: With multiple recipients on the line and only
	some of them failing, it is rather difficult to know WHICH
	did fail -- unless that "-t" does the trick by feeding
	the failing ones back only when at least one of the original
	recipients succeeds.
