It should say:

Notes:
Some comment lines in the example termcap file appear to have improperly reformatted to fit the 78-character limit; the needed "# " was ommitted.

Section Appendix A says:
The two characters "%s", if used, will be replaced by the name of a file for the actual mail body data. In the case of the edit adn view-command, the body part will be passed to this command as standard input unless one or more instances of "%s" appear in the view-command, in which case %s will be replaced by the name of a file containing the body part, a file which may have to be created before the view-command program is executed.
It should say:
The two characters "%s", if used, will be replaced by the name of a file for the actual mail body data. In the case of the edit and view-command, the body part will be passed to this command as standard input unless one or more instances of "%s" appear in the view-command, in which case %s will be replaced by the name of a file containing the body part, a file which may have to be created before the view-command program is executed.

Typo in "Appendix A; Semantics of executable commands; 3rd paragraph";
