[patch] Minor doc fix for MFT code

A short while back there was a post here that said the doc for the
"subscribed" group param was a little misleading.  This patch fixes
that and couple of other minor issues.

 Hm. ``So'', you ask, ``what if I send an email to a list I am not
-subscribed to?  I want my MFT to say that I want an extra copy.''  (This
-is supposed to be interpreted by others the same way as if there were no
-MFT, but you can use an explicit MFT to override someone else's
-to-address group parameter.)  Well, the kind folks at Gnus Towers are
-working on a database of all known mailing list addresses that can be
-used for this purpose.  Till then, you could, like, insert a MFT header
-manually, with the help of @kbd{C-c C-f C-m} (@code{message-goto-mail-followup-to})!!

Installed, with slight changes.

It looks like texi/.cvsignore needs to be updated:
$ cvs up
? texi/message-1
? texi/message-2

Is that file modified and committed just like others, or is there
special magic involved?

I don't think there's magic.
