Since NetBSD uses real pipes, the sendmail process for mailing you the daily
report is already running by the time the /etc/daily script gets to running
mailq.  This entry is simply your daily report, in progress.  That's why
nothing shows up when you run mailq manually during the day.  If you look
closely, you'll notice the queue ID is different for each report, too...
