mailx(1)

WARNINGS

Where command is shown as valid, arguments are not always allowed. Experimentation is recommended. Internal variables imported from the execution environment cannot be unset.

The full internet addressing is not fully supported by mailx. The new internationalization standards need some time to settle down.

mail(1), the standard mail delivery program, treats a line consisting solely of a dot ( . ) as the end of the message.

Using two separate mail programs to access the same mail ®le simultaneously (usually inadvertently from two separate windows) can cause unpredictable results.
