This will certainly insure openSuSE will have the best version of mailx going! Thank you for your "deep dive" Werner. Strange that the error popped up. I've used s-nail on Arch for at least since they replaced heirloom-mailx with it (? 2010-2012 ?) and have never seen a .mbox problem. The primary reason for the change was s-nail (aside from being a drop-in replacement) was still actively developed, so that problems like this with .mbox can be fixed upstream rather than Arch (or openSuSE) having to maintain a bug-fix patch set beyond any improvement patchset. This is from memory, but I think the s-nail fork was from the last version of heirloom-mailx (if not it wasn't too long before then). Fantastic job you are doing, let us know if it pans out. The ability to specify the content type of stdin is a really nice to have feature. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
