+See &%-oMa%& above for general remarks about the &%-oM%& options. The &%-oMm%&
+option sets the message reference, e.g. message-id, and is logged during
+delivery. This is useful when some kind of audit trail is required to tie
+messages together. The format of the message reference is checked and will
+abort if the format is invalid. The option will only be accepted if exim is
+running in trusted mode, not as any regular user.
+
+The best example of a message reference is when Exim sends a bounce message.
+The message reference is the message-id of the original message for which Exim
+is sending the bounce.
