Subject: [PATCH] doc: spellling fixes for manpages
Date: Tue,  4 Feb 2020 11:15:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200204111515.11430-1-e@yhbt.net> (raw)

The wording for publicinbox.nntpserver was awkward, too, and I
took this as opportunity to hopefully clarify it and favor
"hostname" for Internet addresses, because we already use
"address" to mean "email address" in the config.
