>Description:
Here are fixes for a few typos I noticed, reading the manpage of mail.

"It is also possible to create a personal distribution lists so that" -> remove `a' since I believe this whole paragraph is about the plural, lists.

"may" -> many
"If unset, history is not enable." -> enabled
>How-To-Repeat:
man mail
>Fix:
Index: mail.1
