>Description:
There are some unbalanced parenthesises in formatted output of mail.1.
For example, formated output of mail.1 includes following sentence.
After examining a message you can delete `d') the message or reply `r')
to it.
In above sentence, command abbreviation should be represented like
(d) or (`d'). I saw previous one in 4.3 BSD printed manual page, so,
I append patch to modify so.
