I like the idea. However, it occurs to me that people may also want to
test with messages that are not already on the spool. A way of loading
in a test message - in the same way that you can for -bf - could be
useful. Of course, you could set up an alternate configuration file, and
submit such a message into an alternate spool using -C. And indeed, you
could also use -bf to do such tests :-) so maybe this extra feature isn't
really necessary.

I've put your patch on my work list to look at. (I haven't looked at it
yet.) It would have to be restricted to admin users, of course.
