Package: groff
Version: 1.18.1.1-10
Severity: minor
Using .MTO for email addresses (as seen in the groff man page) results
in a stray space put before the closing bracket.
Example:
1284:tbm@deprecation: ~] cat t
.
.mso www.tmac
.
.MTO [email protected] "Martin Michlmayr"
1285:tbm@deprecation: ~] man -l t -P cat | head -3
Reformatting t, please wait...
Martin Michlmayr 〈[email protected]〉
Also, these brackets are special UTF-8 chars and cannot be simply
C&Ped into a mail program.

thanks
I believe this was fixed long ago, and would have been released in groff
1.21 (~2010-12-31).
> man -l t -P cat | head -3
I would not preview a non-man(7) document this way.
I suggest "nroff".

As Werner noted, this was fixed (12 years ago).

Nobody replied to Werner's final comment regarding a rewrite of the
groff www package's "link style". If the package were loaded with the
"-m" flag, the code he used could be put into the troffrc-end file to
override the package defaults.
There doesn't seem to be anything else outstanding for this bug, so
closing.
