It's not.  My bad.  Although, one *could* argue that tagging the
message with your from address and a date was the menas that you
used to trigger your manual deletion process, so one *might* get
away with claiming that *if* they later told the users that the
message was expired.  That'd still be stretching it a bit, though.

--Danny, who reccomends not even looking at users mail spools,
since that's how these questions come up.  Disk space low?  Big
files in mail spool?  mailall "mail spools are getting big, please
delete old messages or move to local machine".
