That is heirloom-mailx. |s-nail is a fork and is in ports. I went through this same exercise and The port is unfortunately 20 dozen commits and half a year behind the latest release, and most of those commits were cherry-picked stability improvements and/or fixes from the v14.9 development branch. Also the OpenBSD port should use readline from the base system, which is especially nice for normal users. Imho. |quickly switched to IMAP so I can read my mail from anywhere with whatever |client I feel like. mail(1) was a bit too tedious and limited for typical |use. Unfortunately i (as the maintainer of the source) have to agree. So it is. Especially regarding interactive use: no way to access message MIME parts directly, and no OpenPGP support, for example. S/MIME limited to the OpenSSL MIME parser. Come back in ten years from now, perhaps. ^.^ It is however the best Mail i know of, already today. And one day it'll have SysV signal handling on the inside, too. --steffen
