Package: mailutils-imap4d
Version: +N/A; reported 2003-09-10
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream, patch

The imap4d.1 manual page is apparently a hastily done copy / search /
replace of the pop3d manual page, where many of the required changes
have not been done (port number, RFC number, etc).

I attach below a patch against the current unstable source.

It should be possible to send upstream verbatim, judging from
<http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/mailutils/mailutils/doc/man/>

Incidentally I also took the liberty to change some erratic
punctuation (or rather lack of same). This should probably be applied
to all the manual pages.

Privately I'm wondering if the man page should not be in section (8)
rather than (1) but perhaps that's rather immaterial anyhow.

Hope this helps,
