Actually the doc already is right:

The syntax of FMail Pack:

          FMail Pack     [ ... [EXCEPT ]
                         [VIA |HOST]
                         [/A] [/C] [/H] [/I] [/L] [/O] ]

But you have to look very carefully where the pairs of [] are...

I think I'm gonna write it like this:

The syntax of FMail Pack:

          FMail Pack [  ...
                       [EXCEPT ]
                       [VIA |HOST]
                       [/A] [/C] [/H] [/I] [/L] [/O]
                     ]

That would be more clear. And maybe fmail should issue a warning when it
finds an option (= illegal nodenumber) at the place where a node number
should be... ;)

Wilfred.
