X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:45:31 -0000 mail(1) man page mentions the Mail Reference Manual. The only one I can find is here: docs.freebsd.org/44doc/usd/07.mail/paper.pdf Is this the one? The URL isn't that definitive. It seems to be in troff. Anybody got the sources of this document? Anyway, the description of the "save" command in this reference manual is correct, while the description of the same command in mail(1) man page is wrong. I wanted to copy the relevant fragment from the reference manual to the man page, if I can find the troff sources for the reference. In fact, perhaps it's better to merge the reference manual into the mail(1) man page completely? Or at least add the sources into the base OS too? I understand mail is not very popular these days, but for me a combination of mail/mpack does all I need.
