Thanks, Kurt. I applied your patch. I rewrote the inc.man change, though:

You repeated the word "to" and you mean "environment variable", not
"environmental variable". "environmental variable" would be something like
wind speed. ;^>
Here's what I put in inc.man:
\fIinc\fR will normally check local mail drops for mail, as covered above. But
if the option \*(lqpophost:\*(rq is set in \*(lqmts.conf\*(rq, or if the
`\-host\ hostname' switch is given, or if the \fB$MAILHOST\fR environment
variable is set, then \fIinc\fR will query this POP service host for mail to
incorporate. If \fB$MAILHOST\fR is set and \-host is specified as well, the
commandline switch will override the environment variable.
