Cut&pasted off the terminal man page output. Looking into man1/doveadm-move.1, I see

.B doveadm move \-u jane Archive/2011/09 mailbox INBOX BEFORE \(rs .B 2011-10-01 SINCE 01-Sep-2011

so it's a problem with my nroff, not dovecot's man pages. (Hmm, it happens with groff too -- it appears to be some sort of line length bug.)

Well, there was a problem with non-escaped dashes. But that was fixed 10 months ago: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/diff/8a3d0426f514/doc/man/doveadm-move.1.i...

Nope, that didn't fix it.

I'm not sure, if that is the reason for the problem.

Which OS, *roff are you using? Maybe I'm able to reproduce the problem. :-)

It's Solaris10 nroff, and GNU groff 1.19.1. Ancient stuff so I wouldn't spend too much time looking at it. It's weird that two independent software implementations would do the same thing.
