Summary:                    dbmail-util man page misrepresents -c option
Description: 
The dbmail-util man page says the -c option will "Clean up unlinked message
entries" but dbmail-util -h says "clean up database (optimize/vacuum)"
which seems to be closer to reality.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Both the man page and dbmail-util -h help screens are misleading. -c
actually does nothing at all but print a message on the screen. Has been
this way for quite a while both in 2.2.x and 2.3.x. The reason it no longer
does anything is because we have moved from MyISAM to InnoDB on the MySQL
side that does not require an OPTIMIZE TABLE x to reuse allocated space.
While a VACUUM x on Postgres would be something to run from time to time,
each command is different between the databases, and the MySQL OPTIMIZE
TABLE actually locks the table like that of a Postgres VACUUM FULL x.
Dbmail is trying to stay away from any code that checks what database type
is in use and changes the query required. I'm not sure what we should do
with the -c option. Lets wait for Paul to chime in.

Waiting for Paul to decide what to do with -c option.
