The command line arguments -a and -b are mutually exclusive as of release 0.1. If using both at the same time was permitted, users could express an interval, allowing searches for "message arrived between timestamps X and Y".

Command line arguments -a and -b currently allow only passing a time difference like 45m or 3d. It would be helpful to also support strings representing absolute points in time. Here is an example for how it might look when using the ISO 8601 format:

$ date --iso-8601=s
2022-01-23T22:10:56+01:00

$ postqueue -b '2022-01-23T22:10:56+01:00'

It would also be useful to allow passing epoch time arguments, because postqueue -j returns message arrival times as seconds since the Epoch.
