specified date, in other words, "Oct. 11, 97" and "10/11/97" are assumed to be "10/11/97 00:00:00". A month and a day without a year are assumed to be in the current year unless this would put it more than 1 month in the future, when it is assumed to be the previous year. For example, assuming that it is currently "Mar. 3, 98", if the user specifies "02/15", it is assumed to be "02/15/98". If the user specifies "11/3", it is assumed to be "11/03/97", since "11/03/98" would put it more than 1 month in the future, which is unlikely to be what the user had intended. You can force the proper interpretation of any date by fully specifying it; that is, adding the day of the month and the year.

If the form "item=xxx" form is used, all elements not specified default to ’*’, hence "wday=Sun" means all messages on any Sunday. Do NOT mix standard format with the "item=xxx" format. The results are unpredictable.

Spaces should be enclosed in quotes, for example, -a"7/14/87 05:08:30". Search patterns are enclosed in forward slash (/) characters, with an optional repetition count following, for example, -z/GEN006/2 means the second message containing "GEN006".

The repetition count has no meaning with the "-s" or "-q" locant, but does for the "-a" and "-z" locants.

Locants can have their meaning reversed by preceding them with an exclamation point (!), for example "-s!/{pattern}/" means everything that does not match the pattern. Normally "-s" and "-q" locants logically OR together if there is more than one. It is possible to AND them together be adding a plus
