Certainly. I usually type in the function by name because I did not
learn how they are mapped to the keys. Of course, H for help would
help instantaneously.

As you wrote, this could be subject of a bug report.

With respect to option -m, the term Usenet message is now used in the
manpage.
I wonder whether other types of content than text/plain are often met
at all. I just work with mails and know that text/html raises security
issues for the "simple user" and is far from being essential.

I'm astonished that somebody asked for this protocol this year. From
your remarks I concluded that it is outdated. My own needs are
satisfied with http(s), pop and smtp, and, certainly, the one used for
voice over IP services.
