Re: [Nmh-workers] [PATCH] nmh.man: reorganize the command listing
For what it's worth, it make sense to me. The only draw back is that you cannot get an overview of it all in one screen. I might also suggest adding sub-headings for each action group. ___ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

I think the categorization is an improvement, although the current groupings bug me a little bit. I need a bit of time to ponder why before I can come up with any useful suggestions. But for starters, we need to get it into proper manpage format ;-) Paul, if you send me the raw file I will do the man macro dance for you. --lyndon ___ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
