Instead of trying to make -R fancier and fancier, it might be useful
instead to build a stand alone program on analogy to the pick command of
MH.
The program, which I'm calling exipick for want of a better name, would
have some expression language (to be determined) and would simply echo
the MIDs of those messages in the queue which matched the expression, so
exim -M `exipick SOME-EXPRESSION`
might be a typical usage.
I've put things on the wishlist before. But I promise, if this were
developed I really would use it. :-)
