Hi!

 From the way you write you seem to want to work more on similar bugs
and I want to point out to you some mistakes in your patch:

 This is a wrong change. blind-carbon-copy isn't something literal so
having it displayed as hyphen is proper here.

 Same here, the hyphen for the range isn't something wrong.


> -Open a mailbox in \fIread-only\fP mode.
> +Open a mailbox in \fIread\-only\fP mode.

 Again, non-option so no dash required.

 Likewise.

 This is a corner-case: It's an actual email-header so someone who has
"set edit_headers" might think about c&p that to an email.

 Hope this helps your understanding of the problem. Escaping of a hyphen
is only there needed where it actually _is_ meant to be a literal dash,
like in commandline and configuration options. Same goes btw. for
quotes, though lintian doesn't check for those because it's almost
impossible to be sure wether a quote is meant to be around an example or
rather being part of the example.

 Hope that helps your understanding. :)
