The usage summary now reads:

-H HOST      = use this hostname in the subject of any generated mail

The explanation of the FQDN option now reads:

# Should the hostname in the subject of generated mails be fully  
qualified?

The manpage for logcheck now reads:

"-H Use this hostname string in the subject of logcheck mail."

Thanks for your bug report,
