For example, it took 22 minutes for this message to come back via the
list -- this isn't just a hypothetical issue:

For some conversations (and at some times of day) a half-hour delay in
receiving a message doesn't matter as much -- but in many cases it
*does* matter, and the conversation can have moved on a *lot* in that
time. Dropping a participant from Cc is *bad*.

If they *have* the message, they always have the option of deleting or
ignoring it. If they *don't* have the message, they're screwed.
