Hmmmmm.  I came to this discussion a bit late, because I have tried and
rejected use of mailx in favor of first Elm, and now Mush.  So my interest
is marginal.

However, I am in the midst of reorganizing all the two hundred or so floppies
and file folders I have around my office containing the various projects I
have worked on (fiddled with?) over the years I have had a UNIX PC.  One is
interesting here: dated around February 1987, it comes from Emmet P. Gray,
and claims to be a Berkeley Mail, or AT&T mailx clone.  It is called Mail.
It includes source code.  It has a UNIX PC makefile.  It does not have a
man page or other separate documentation, other than a short note from
Emmet.

Is anyone familiar with this thing?  Can anyone report how accurate the
claim to be a mailx clone is?  Does this thing work?  How much interest is
there for a repost?

Emmet, are you listening?  I'm just a packrat here: you're the originator.
