Before I couldn't find any mention of this in the list archive, but
found it when looking for issues with building the PDF:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-docs/2010-04/msg00031.php

So apologies for dupe posting.

FWIW your original email didn't reach the list, so we have no idea what
text you're talking about.

I guess emails with certain attachments get rejected by the list, but
I didn't get any error from majordomo.

It was in reference to the A4 version of the documentation for 8.4.4
(http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/pdf/8.4/postgresql-8.4.4-A4.pdf)
Examples are on page 82, 158, 202, 451 and 1034.
