The documentation could be improved by showing the most common<br>
architecture strings and using a placeholder in the code (but one<br>
of the strings could be good as well, provided it’s explained clearly<br>
what’s to be actually substituted for a particular system).<br>
<br>
But, for sanity’s sake, PLEASE DON'T send messages formatted<br>
with the font I don’t want to mention the name of! :-D<br>
<br>
Ciao<br>
