WOW! is already doing this. It's annoying as all hell because there is one
user from wow on one of my mailing lists who's mailbox has been full for
the last couple of weeks. Any message to the list gets bounced right back
to the list and the sender. What's worse is that it takes them two
messages to tell you that your message bounced -- the official
notification and the copy of your message.

Let's just say I'm less than ``WOW!ed'' by this little ``feature.''
