Summary:                    mairix.1: Tables not rendered
Description: 
mairix.1 contains several tables under the "Date specification" section
which aren't rendered, but displayed as table markup. Example:

     box tab(&); lb | lb | lb | lb.  letter & short for & example
     &  meaning  =  l  | l | l | l.  d & days   & 3d & 3 days w &
     weeks  & 2w & 2 weeks (14 days) m & months & 5m &  5  months
     (150 days) y & years  & 4y & 4 years (4*365 days)

The following pre-rendered man page from Ubuntu shows how it should
actually look like:

Add:
'\" t
to the first line of /opt/csw/share/man/man1/mairix.1

Eg follow:
$ head /usr/man/man1/unzip.1
...

and described in man(1):

  Preprocessing Nroff Manual Pages
     When formatting an nroff manual page, man examines the first
     line to determine whether it requires special processing. If
     the first line is a string of the form:

     '\" X

     where X is separated from the `"' by a  single  <SPACE>  and
     consists  of  any combination of characters in the following
     list, man pipes its input to troff(1)  or  nroff(1)  through
     the corresponding preprocessors.

     e     eqn(1), or neqn for nroff

     r     refer(1)

     t     tbl(1)

     v     vgrind(1)
