// Author: wpcarro@gmail.com
//
// 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".
