[PATCH RFC 03/10] send-email: Cleanup the usage text and docs a bit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All usage text lines should be < 80 characters.

A port number in --smtp-server is no longer handled,
so the suggestion has been removed.

--chain-reply-to doesn't take an argument.
