+
+<p>All the world uses ISO-216:1975 "A4" paper except for North America.
+Using A4 format reaches far more people than (formerly known as DIN A4,
+from DIN&nbsp;476) format. Besides that, A4 paper <em>is</em> available in North
+America.
+For further information on the Letter-vs-A4 story, see:</p>

+	Forte: "A4 vs US Letter"</a></li></ul>
+
+<p>Offering the document formatted for two different paper sizes would
+bloat the package beyond reason, and formatting in a way that fits A4
+and Letter paper formats would be a waste of paper in most parts of the
+world. For that reason, fetchmail only ships with an A4 formatted PDF
+document.</p>
+
+<p>To create a letter-sized PDF, install <a
+    href="http://www.htmldoc.org/">HTMLDOC</a>, edit
+<code>fetchmail-FAQ.book</code> in the source directory with your
