Hi Larry,
Can I get a ruling, please, on the use of 'maildrop' vs 'mail drop' in
the man pages?
A quick search shows 25 current instances of 'maildrop' (not counting
$MAILDROP), as against 19 for 'mail drop'.
Google's Ngram's viewer clearly favours "mail drop".
https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=mail+drop%2Cmaildrop&case_insensitive=on&year_start=1800&year_end=2200&corpus=15&smoothing=3
So do I, with it being hyphenated as a compound adjective, e.g. "a file
in mail-drop format".
I spy the odd "mail drop box". I'm guessing these can be simplified to
"mail drop".
