I know that you have already received the answer to this, which is that
those addresses that are starred have already been delivered. The
question is, should a change be made to Exim? When I wrote it, I thought
it would be useful to show all addresses, indicating those which had
already been dealt with. It seems that this can be misunderstood. On the
other hand, I have a feeling that showing only the outstanding addresses
could equally easily be misunderstood - "I sent a message to three
people and it only shows one of them". Does anyone on this list hold
strong views either way?
