Hi Scott:

I get it.

I guess my suggestion would be to make a distinction between:

        - final message disposition: DELETE / HOLD / PASS
        - message actions: NONE, COPY, ALERT

In that context, today's actions could be viewed as a combination of an
"action" and "final disposition":

        BOUNCE = ALERT+DELETE
        ROUTE = COPY+DELETE
        COPYTO = COPY+PASS
        IGNORE = NONE+PASS
        
etc.

That would give us more flexibility in determining what actions to take and
what final disposition a message should have.

The problem here is that the ALERT action is designed specifically to 
deliver the E-mail, and the HOLD action is designed specifically to block 
it.  Since both can't be used together, the HOLD action is used (since it 
is the stricter of the two actions, per the order they are listed in the 
manual).
