題目: Re: [exim] exim online doc formatting
I have changed it to -2em. I have been experimenting. I think it
looks better set to -1em, but I won't change it unless I get a chorus
of "Oh yeah, -1em does look better."

I have committed the change. It might require a manual invocation of
the website generation script to make it take effect on the currently
served pages, of which I do not have access to initiate.
