+.PP
+If you do not specify any options, t\-prot does ... nothing. Every
+feature you want must be turned on explicitly.
+Admittedly, we have quite a number of options for t\-prot. To limit
+confusion they are grouped into five sections: Input/Output Options,
+Advertisement And Mailing List Footers, Filtering Options, Detection
+Options, and Other Options. While the others should be quite clear,
+filtering and detection might deserve a word (or two).
+.PP
+If you want to tune the appearance of your mail from within your MUA
+(or news messages from within your NUA), then go for the Filtering
+Options section.
+.PP
+If you want to use t\-prot to check on mails before they are submitted
+to mailing lists, fed to your news server, or delivered by your MDA,
+then have a peek at the Detection Options section. You may accept or
+reject/bounce messages depending on t\-prot's result.
+.SH INPUT/OUTPUT OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR "\-i" " FILE"
+Defines an input file; default is '\-' i.e. STDIN.
+.TP
+.BR "\-o" " FILE"
+Defines the output file; default is STDOUT.
+.TP
+.B "\-\-body"
+Input consists just of the message's body. There are no RFC 5322 header
+lines.
+.IP
+.IR NOTE :
+This does not work with \-\-pgp\-short, and multipart messages will not
+be detected due to missing headers.
+.TP
+.B "\-\-lax\-security"
+Allow insecure writing method. DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT
+YOU ARE DOING. (This ugly workaround is needed for some early mutt versions
+and should NEVER be used as a default, otherwise it will probably turn into
+a security issue.)
+.sp
+You can use this option safely to enable
+.B "\-o"
+/dev/null (or other files which cannot be changed with the user's
+privileges).
+.TP
+.BR "\-\-max\-lines" =x
+Maximum number of lines a message may count (with headers). If the message
+is longer than x lines, the message will not be processed but printed
+unmodified. Exit status will be EX_DATAERR except when called with \-Mmutt
+or \-Mmutt\-kz.
