I'm afraid not. I wasn't aware of heirloom-mailx's existence 24 hours ago. http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx_history.html has something interesting to say: Portable scripts should either invoke mail without any options or should use the standardized mailx interface. The description of POSIX mailx is available in manpages-posix. I couldn't find a relevant option with a quick look. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
