 -Mg <message id> <message id> ...
    This option requests Exim to give up trying to deliver the listed 
    messages, including any that are frozen. However, if any of the 
    messages are active, their status is not altered. For non-bounce 
    messages, a delivery error message is sent to the sender, containing 
    the text “cancelled by administrator”. Bounce messages are just 
    discarded. This option can be used only by an admin user. 

Bearing that in mind, I sent a message which should be retried, and 
evetually bounce. Before it bounced, and not while it was actively retried 
to deliver, root cancelled it with the -Mg command line option. The summary 
of the log was

    orig_id retry time not reached
    orig_id cancelled by root
    new_id  <= <> R=orig_id
    orig_id Completed
    new_id  => sender
    new_id  Completed

Only that the bounced new_id message did not had the text of “cancelled 
by administrator”. 

Is that expected?
