Document the -d flag to mail(1) better, which comes handy when
you want to see, e.g., sendmail arguments mail(1) will use.

-H is not an independent flag, it's a modifier. Also explicitly
say that -H will cause mail(1) to exit as soon as it prints the headers.

MFC after: 5 days

Bumped document date.
Dealt with hard sentence breaks and whitespace at EOL.

These aren't all binary options.

Add the -e (mail presence test), -H (header summary mode), and -F
(message save as first recipient) options for standards
conformance.

Document the ~. and ~? command escapes.

Add support for the 'flipr' option per IEEE 1003.1-2001.

Make the 'searchheaders' option behave how it was supposed to. If
enabled, the string '/to:y' will match strings in the To, Cc, and Bcc
header fields. Whereas, '/To:y' will match only the To field. Edit the
manpage and a code comment to indicate the correct behavior.

Rearrange a little, specifically:

- removed "Option string values" section and divided up amongst mail
options and environment section
- expanded environment section
- rearranged mail options
- added default values to the mail options for clarification
