innfeed -s option?

OK, thanks for the clarification.

Oh, "online help"…  Well, let's go for it then.

I also added a symbolic link for imapfeed(8) to innfeed(8), and 
documented the new logging (notably, "accsize", "rejsize" and the 
"%d/%.1f" syntax for "deferred" were missing in the innfeed man page).

I believe I<pathoutgoing> is better than F<outgoing>.  (The name is a 
parameter.)
