About:
Heirloom mailx (formerly known as "nail") is derived from Berkeley Mail and provides the functionality of the System V and POSIX mailx commands. Additional features include support for MIME, IMAP (including caching and disconnected use), POP3, SMTP, S/MIME, international character sets, maildir folders, message threading, powerful search methods, scoring, and a Bayesian junk mail filter. Mailx can be used as a mail batch language in nearly the same way as it is used interactively. It can thus act as a mailbox filter, can fetch mail from remote accounts, and can send files as attachments.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
It is now possible to put multiple addresses in the "From" and "Reply-To" fields. The "From", "Sender", "Reply-To", and "Organization" fields can be changed for a single message using the new "~H" tilde escape. The output for "~p" has been extended to include these fields. Some minor bugs have been fixed.
