Cyrus IMAPd 2.1.10 Released

[Rob Siemborski]

Right.

I guess it boils down to where do I want to spend time.

Personally, I think that our time is better spent improving the quality of
the documentation, and not the number of formats it's available in.  If we
can get more formats for free (or if someone really really wants to
do this, and comes up with a format that is easy for someone with only a
knowledge of HTML to learn and maintain), great, but I don't think we
should focus a lot of energy in this direction.
