This manpage is autogenerated by help2man. It's the best compromise
Wojciech and I have found to the lack of manpages in many GNU projects
and the Debian requirement to ship them. I have no time to write (and
more importantly, maintain up to date) manpages for the tons of binaries
shipped with mailutils. These manpages simply give you a small overview
of what the program does and then directs you to the info docs.

Of course, this clashes with what I just wrote. :)
I guess it's a bug in the texinfo document?
