Debian has rather strange policies regarding the documentation, which effectively cause most of GNU manuals to be excluded from their distributions. Each release of GNU mailutils is shipped with the documentation. Normally it is installed by `make install' process. If it weren't for Debian strangeness, you'd have it on your system too. The easiest way to get the docs, is the following: 1. download the original tarball from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailutils/mailutils-1.2.tar.gz 2. Untar it: tar xfz mailutils-1.2.tar.gz 3. Change to the doc/texinfo subdirectory: cd doc/texinfo The documentation files are here, they are named mailutils.info*. Now you have two possibilities: I. You may view them directly using the following command: info -f ./mailutils.info II. You can install them to wherever info files live on your system, like this: cp mailutils.info /path/to/info-directory install-info --info-dir=/path/to/info-directory mailutils.info After this, you'll be able to access the documentation by simply running `info mailutils'.
