[bug-mailutils] Not one single debugging example

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

No matter (info "(mailutils) debugging") nor man mail,
there is not one single example to get the user started.

Sure, there is tons of documentation. But not one single example.

So, after

--debug-level=LEVEL
set Mailutils debugging level

please add:

Example:
--debug-level=ALL (?)

Turn on all debugging output.

At least tell the user how to turn on ALL. Thanks.

Yes, unfortunately. However, it is described in detail here:

http://mailutils.org/wiki/Debug_level

If and when I have sufficient time, I'll transfer it to the docs. Until
then, any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Sergey

Actually that seems already in e.g., (info "(mailutils) Level Syntax")
Where we read:

Additionally, a comma-separated list of level specifications is allowed after the dot. For example, the following
specification:

acl.prot,!=trace9,!trace2

Which I would write like e.g.,
--debug-level='mailbox.prot,!trace9'
so the user sees where it is supposed to go.

This is reasonable, indeed. Thanks for the suggestion.
