Hello...

Hm, I really disagree since personally I think those lines are

a) too short to be irritating
b) not frequently enough to be annoying (at least with -q30m or more)
c) are very helpful for getting an impression of mail activity over
time when browsing logs in a hurry - which I really appreciate.

Generally, a log is or should be an activity log. A queue run, even if
there is no mail to process should become logged.

And sorry, but omitting those lines would be 'windows-stylish'.
