Exactly.  The operative term is "the message."  No need to send the
Received lines back to the sender, since that person doesn't care
about them, even though s/he hasn't seen them.  Likewise for a third
party recipient.  If you think it's important for a third party to see
these mail transport debugging lines and other cruft then it's just as
important for the original sender to see them.

This is probably a case where we agree to disagree.  At least VM is
distributed in source code, so it can be changed.   :-)
