+    \begin{macrodesc}{mailheader}{\p{name}}
+      The name of an \rfc{822}-style mail header.  This markup does
+      not imply that the header is being used in an email message, but
+      can be used to refer to any header of the same ``style.''  This
+      is also used for headers defined by the various MIME
+      specifications.  The header name should be entered in the same
+      way it would normally be found in practice, with the
+      camel-casing conventions being preferred where there is more
+      than one common usage.  For example: \mailheader{Content-Type}.
