Description of problem: When viewing the man page for cone, the formatting is broken. The string 'Cone' forces new paragraph to start, even if it is in the middle of the sentence. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q cone cone-0.71-5.fc8 How reproducible: Seems deterministic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run man cone. Actual results: CONE(1) Cone: COnsole Newsreader An CONE(1) Cone: COnsole Newsreader And Emailer NAME cone - Read and send E-mail messages SYNOPSIS cone [-r] [-c directory] USAGE Cone is a console newsreader and E-mail. It is an interactive program for reading and sending E-mail messages. Cone is designed to be intuitive and easy to learn. Starting Cone for the first time displays two links: one for the default system mailbox, and a second link to a quick online tutorial. The online tutorial provides a brief overview of using Cone for reading and sending E-mail. Pressing Q on most screens exits Cone. Cone tries to gracefully log out and shut down all server connections. If Cone cannot log out of a remote server because the remote server is down, press CTRL-C (after Q to terminate Cone). [...] I'm not sure how the line breaks will come out in bugzilla but the point is that "Cone" is always at the start of new paragraph. Expected results: CONE(1) Cone: COnsole Newsreader An CONE(1) Cone: COnsole Newsreader And Emailer NAME cone - Read and send E-mail messages SYNOPSIS cone [-r] [-c directory] USAGE Cone is a console newsreader and E-mail.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.

The issue is still present in Fedora 9's cone-0.74-3.fc9.x86_64.
Hm, still present here...I've just rebuilt cone with gcc 4.4, will fix this later, probably together with updating to 0.77 (BZ#496421)...if the package maintainer won't response -- Steven, are you too busy with perl.*?:)

Fedora 10's cone-0.75-1.fc10.i386 still has the bad man page. Could we please have this resolved somehow? Saying WONTFIX is fair enough, as is addressing the issue. Keeping this thing without any response does not seem good.
I've just updated the package to 0.78 in rawhide (F10/F11 updates on the way as well) which solves this issue too. I wish the maintainer would have taken the 15 minutes to do that!

I'm sorry but I can't reproduce this anymore, I tested both F10 and F11 and the man pages are displayed just fine, could you recheck?
On F11, with cone-0.78-1.fc11.i586, the result is OK. I no longer have F10 to test that.
