[Eh; that's not relevant; this is against the Handbook.]
>Description:
Direct the Web browser of your choice to
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL;
note that although there is a one-line summary for freebsd-jobs, there

free to adapt it as appropriate.

+ Examples of open source formats include PostScript
