s ISO-216:1975 "A4" paper except for North America. Using
A4 format reaches far more people than (formerly known as DIN A4, from
DIN 476) format. Besides that, A4 paper is available in North America. For
further information on the Letter-vs-A4 story, see:
* Markus Kuhn: "International standard paper sizes"
* Brian Forte: "A4 vs US Letter"

Offering the document formatted for two different paper sizes would bloat
the package beyond reason, and formatting in a way that fits A4 and Letter
paper formats would be a waste of paper in most parts of the world. For that
reason, fetchmail only ships with an A4 formatted PDF document.

To create a letter-sized PDF, install HTMLDOC, edit fetchmail-FAQ.book in
the source directory with your favorite text editor, replace --size A4 by
--size letter, and type:
make fetchmail-FAQ.pdf
