+.SH NAME
+pygm2n - Python Gateway mail to news
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pygm2n
+.BR -n
+.IR newsgroups
+[
+.BR -s
+.IR newsserver
+]
+[
+.BR -h
+]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B IMPORTANT:
+this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in
+.B devel.\ state.
+try -h option for more detailed option.
+
+pygm2n reads from stdin an email, sending it to newsgroups, a comma separated list without spaces of newsgroup names (at least one), rfc799 compliant.
+
+If pygm2n reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is
+considered an absolute path to a single-email mailbox,
+so pygm2n will open and read it.
+
+.B Note
+that now pyg can't read a real mailbox, with many emails. If you
+give it in input, pyg will post the whole mailbox as a single email.
