Bug Description

Binary package hint: man-db

lexgrog fails on the following .SH line, that ought to be correct:

.SH "NAME"
"Claws Mail" \- a GTK+ based fast email and news client

If changed to "Claws_Mail" it succeeds, but that it not the name of the program!

Thanks for your report. The name you should use is *not* the "display name" of the program; it should be the name you would type when asking man to display the page, usually the name of the executable. So, if this is claws-mail.1.gz, say, it should be:

.SH NAME
claws\-mail \- a GTK+ based fast email and news client

This is actually important for several reasons and so I'm not going to change this.

Changed in man-db:
