Would something like #legitimatelyUnsentMessages be preferable to using
Object>>nominallyUnsent? The comment on that method describes it as a
mechanism for marking unsent methods which are legitimate and should not be
removed.

I'd be interested in helping with this--what kind of seed on Mantis were you
looking for--a specific bug report for a particular unsent message to start
with, or something more general? Also, which image version would you
recommend starting with--3.9, 3.10,...?
