<sigh>
There's an inconsistency between the documentation and the code.
The documentation says to use "-n" in order to register the standard
payload objects for a notification.   The code actually looks for "-m".
Bother!

   It's been like that since late 2005, and you're the first person
to have noticed the problem.

Although "-n" feels the more natural option to use, I suspect the easiest
fix is to change the documentation to match reality.

Thanks for spotting this.
