I have to be a pragmatic realist in this regard. If there's a
particually common usage that is gaining ground every where, such as the
specific case of -ti, then I will usually eventually add it into Exim.
I've noted that one - it *is* a particularly common case. But I don't
want to implement the general "you can conflate all options" approach.

Sigh. Why didn't they use the old-fashioned -odb setting?
