Hello from the new maintainer of the s-nail Debian package. It seems to me that, even if now s-nail supports custom headers, the incompatibility isn't solved: in bsd-mail the '-a' flag is used to add custom headers, while in s-nail '-a' is for attaching files. While I'd really like s-nail to provide /usr/bin/main, I don't see an easy way to solve this issue. Paride
