bsd-mailx - 8.1.2-0.20220412cvs-1 main

bsd-mailx is the traditional simple command-line-mode mail user agent.
Even if you don't use it, it may be required by other programs.
.
The /usr/bin/mail command provided by this package is a very simple one,
and does not include many features that can be found in more advanced
mail user agents.
.
For example bsd-mailx DOES NOT support:
- MIME (i.e. no attachments, no UTF-8 or other charsets support);
- SMTP protocol (/usr/sbin/sendmail interface only is used);
- POP3/IMAP (bsd-mailx reads local mailboxes only);
- maildir format (traditional mbox only format is supported).
.
If the above features are needed, please consider installing another package
providing similar /usr/bin/mail interface:
- s-nail package,
- or mailutils package.
