If I had to guess I would bet that none of the commenters in this thread have ever used the Heirloom version of "mailx", and some have never used, or would ever want to use, the BSD mailx either.
It is a shame because I think Mr. Ritter deserves more recognition for his work.
IMHO, some of his versions are real improvements over the BSD ones, e.g., troff (doctools) and nailx.
I for one am very thankful for the Heirloom Project and very glad to see it live on.
