    initial v1  
    11Fix attached.  Tested on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (man-db 2.6.7.1, groff 1.22.2).  I can't tell if it works on other systems that might use different man implementations.

    3 When the output is not a tty (which is the case here), mc seems to ignore the pager and remove all formatting by default.  The option "-P cat" is hence totally useless, but it's a nice safeguard against possible different man implementations, to make sure they don't mess up anything if they invoke the pager.

    5 The environment variable MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING forces man to keep the formatting sequences for bold and underlined, even if the output is not a tty.
