Subject: [PATCH 17/30] mailbox.txt: standardize document format
Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!
Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- Add markups for section titles;
- Use :Author: for authorship;
- Mark literal block as such and ident it.
