That would be very useful. It's much quicker to -Mvl a message on the queue to
see what's happened to it, than to grep the logs on a busy system. Also, if the
logs have rotated and been compressed that further slows the process of
tracking the email.
If you have a short rotation cycle, you may even find yourself with a message
on the queue and no logs.
