+[

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Mr is a simple reader for mail and/or news spools.  It won't obsolete

+reader to page, reply-to, save, append, print, forward, pipe,
+originate, conceal or reveal headers, and delete or undelete mail.  Mr
+can also be used to read the news spools produced by the bsnews news
+system for leaf nodes.
+.SH COMMANDS
+An alternate mail or news spool can be named on the command line.  The
+initial display lists waiting messages:

+The pseudo-pipes used for ms-dos cannot handle a complex command.
+Some users would undoubtedly prefer getch() style command parsing.
+The pager used to display messages does not back-up.
