Package: exim4
Version: 4.96-12

Hi,

in 4.96 the exiqgrep behavior changed and now is required at least one
filter (or -c) option to run, thus running eg.:

    exiqgrep
    exiqgrep -i

will not return desired output, but help message with return code 1.
Alternative is to use catch all regexp, eg.:

    exiqgrep -f '.*'
    exiqgrep -if '.*'

Or to use exipick utility, eg.:

    exipick
    exipick -i

I do not expect change that behavior on Debian level, but IMO, that
change is worth to mention in NEWS file, to prevent unexpected behavior
(and related bugreports) after upgrade.

regards
