Please forget about this very bad name.  It is mime-force-sendout
instead.  And i imagined you could place in your global
/etc/mailx.rc (or whatever its name) something like

  if ! t && [ "$LOGNAME" == root || .. root aliases ]
    set mime-force-sendout
  endif

or something.  $LOGNAME is ensure to be set (correctly).
