This a nice concept, and it's in no way exim-specific. But it's
not too easy to implement, and I don't think people would like to
view (or grep) logs inly by using the conversion utility. Doing
"grep vadik@ /var/exim/log/mainlog" to see how many messages I
sent and received today is easy and fits nice in my brain with
the general concept of log grepping.
