Well, I was thinking of myself as postmaster, and I sure as heck didn't
want them in my mailbox! And certainly not interrupting me. I rather
wanted them left on the queue so that I could either manually remove
them, or get whatever the problem was fixed when I looked at them at a
time of my own choosing. (Remember, this was 10 years ago, when we
didn't have the current forgery plague.) The freeze_tell option was
invented for those postmasters who wanted to know the instant a message
was frozen.
