It is not necessary to call ACK-RECEIPT from within a transaction. ACK-RECEIPT
automatically starts and ends a transaction if one is required to perform the request
and no transaction ID is present.
The TRANSFER delivery system automatically marks a package delivered to a group's
INBOX folder as having been examined, to prevent the generation of messages
pertaining to the expiration of the package.
If the depot storage statistics facility is active, collection depends on the values of
COUNT-WHEN-DELIV and COUNT-ITEMS-ONCE, as shown in Table 2-1.
