You can see how it is packaged for Arch at:

After using both over the years, I finally ended up with a problem heirloom-mailx couldn't solve while s-nail made it trivial.
(what raised the issue was answering a question on SO, e.g.) Unable to get output in table format through shell https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53693563/unable-to-get-output-in-table-f...
Slightly off-topic - I use mailx for many small notifications of this and that, all plain text, probably all ascii. If I want more than plain text, I format the entire email body myself and send it with "sendmail -oi ".
Yep, perfect for you. nevertheless in past I had a lot of customers/users which want to have a working mime detection and some things more. So I have a bunch of patches which if required I'd like to see in a potential s-nail baseds mailx:
mailx-12.5-ipv6.dif mailx-12.5-mime.dif mailx-12.5-openssl-1.1.0f.patch mailx-12.5-parentheses.dif mailx-12.5-replyto.patch mailx-12.5.dif mailx-fix-openssl.patch nail-11.25-path.dif nail-11.25-toaddr.dif nail-11.25-ttychar.dif
from server:mail/mailx ... also it seems not clear on which version of heirloom mailx the s-nail is based as there seems no usage of wordexp.h from glibc anymore.
Hmmm ... an external suid dotlock program is backward to the old dotlocking of heilroom mailx. What was wrong with the old way? AFAIK /var/spool/mail/ is 1777 aka rwxrwxrwxt -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr
