The goal of the MDC is to assure that the message has been received
exactly as the sender set it.  Thus there is just a binary decision:
Okay or Fail.  Everything is like you have been dropped at boot time
into manual fsck mode - you can do something about it or you just
irginore things and restore the partition.

It is already there.  If you use "--output FILE" the file is either
created or not.  Your choice.
