[R-sig-ME] MCMCglmm prediction without marginalising

Dear list,

Apologies if this turns out to be a silly question but does
predict.MCMCglmm, marginalise residuals by default? I'd like to see how the
prediction performs when random effects are not marginalised, i.e.,
marginal=NULL, but the predictions look too close to the original data so I
am suspecting that this also un-marginalised the residuals as well...

Am I correct to interpret it this way, and is there a way to still
marginalise the residuals but not the random effects?

I want to see how close or how far away the predictions are from the
original responses when random effects are marginalised or not.

Many thanks,
Manabu
