Good point...
The problem is that the man pages of several commands (look at mutt)
are little more than pointers to files in /usr/share/docs, or
something like that. It's hard to figure it out once and for all...
Don't have a definite answer (or opinion...). I was playing with the
concept of placing all the docs (man/info page included) on a CD
and hacking the man/info programs to say: "please insert the cdrom
first" when you type "man somecommand", but this is definitely not for
now...
CIao,
