Use character names in man pages. Groff currently by default uses latin1 for its input encoding and doesn't support utf-8 at all [1], but Debian can and one day must use utf-8 [2, 3]. By using character names [4] we sidestep the incompatibility.

.TH mlmmj-maintd "1" "September 2004" mlmmj-maintd
.SH NAME
mlmmj-maintd \- maintenance for mlmmj maintained lists
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mlmmj-maintd
[\fI\-F\fR] \fI[\-d\fR | \fI\-L\fR] /path/to/dir
.HP
\fB\-d\fR: Full path to directory with lists
.HP
\fB\-L\fR: Full path to list directory
.HP
\fB\-F\fR: Don't fork, performing one maintenance run only.
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is the program doing the maintenance for an mlmmj based mailing list. It
will unsubscribe people who have bounced for long enough, send out bounce
probes, resend mails that couldn't be delivered to relayhost, clean out stale
requests for e.g. subscription, resend list mails and clean up leftover files
etc.

If a directory containing several lists exists, the \fB\-d\fR can be used to
specify this, making mlmmj-maintd perform a maintenance run in every listdir
below the specified one.

Only either \fB\-d\fR or \fB\-L\fR can be specified at the same time.

It will run as a daemon, unless the \fB\-F\fR switch is specified, in which
case it just runs once.  The \fB\-F\fR  option should be used when one wants to
avoid running another daemon, and use e.g. cron to control it instead. In case
cron is used, mlmmj-maintd should be run every 2 hours or so. An example
crontab entry:
