+// Wirelessly transfer RFC documents to your Kindle to device for an alternative
+// medium for reading.
+//
+// Usage:
+// ```shell
+// > go run rfcToKindle.go -document rfc6479 -recipient username@kindle.com
+// ```
+//
+// This uses `sendgmr` to send the file to the Kindle. Make sure:
+// 1. That `sendgmr` is installed and available on $PATH.
+// 2. That it is configured to work with your preferred email address.
+// 3. That the email address `sendgmr` is configured to use is whitelisted in
+//    your Kindle "Personal Document Settings".
