No, we don't.
In our TIFF decoder, we do track situations where pointers were invalid
or offsets were wrong, and those are counted. However, the mail application
doesn't look at that warning counter when generating the MDN; we're only
looking at the error boolean when generating the MDN.
So we could add this pretty easily, but at the time we coded this we
felt that "processed/warning" could be misinterpreted. After all, the
user can't do anything to fix their implementation to avoid the warning.
All that "processed/warning" really tells you is "I received something
that I found difficult to parse, and there may be some side-effects
because of that difficulty."
I wouldn't complain if it were dropped from the MDNbis.
