Description Chris Pepper 2002-08-10 03:30:01 UTC
	"SH EXAMPLES" section is run up against preceding para.
	semicolon is

Fix: 

Not sure of the roff syntax, but "SH ARGUMENTS" should be separated from the -m para, and change "assignments, they will" to "assignments, they will".
How-To-Repeat: 	man procmail -- see:

.B \-m
Turns procmail into a general purpose mail filter.  In this mode one rcfile
must be specified on the command line.  After the rcfile, procmail will
accept an unlimited number of arguments.
If the rcfile is an absolute path starting with
.B /usr/local/etc/procmailrcs/
without backward references (i.e. the parent directory cannot be mentioned) proc
mail will, only if no security violations are found, take on the identity of the
 owner of the rcfile (or symbolic link).
For some advanced usage of this option you should look in the
.B EXAMPLES
section below..SH ARGUMENTS
Any arguments containing an '=' are considered to be environment variable
assignments, they will
.I all
be evaluated after the default values have been
assigned and before the first rcfile is opened.

Procmail is a third-party application.  Could you try posting the
changes you've worked on and kindly submitted to the procmail
developers so that an update of the port can bring them cleanly in the
FreeBSD ports tree the next time a release of procmail is out?
