Very close. Actually I'm thinking that the existing overflow queue
logic would work well. Simply, if the Have-I-Seen-This test fails then
the message is pushed into a DelayedScan queue. Everything older than
UserSpecifiedDelay that is in the DelayedScan queue gets put into the
overflow queue to be processed - or simply picked up and scanned as if
it were.

As I understand it, the overflow queue gets scanned as it is put back
- so this is a fairly minor trick.
