Description

mailx (Heirloom Mailx; formerly nail) is a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1. It is intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX.2 mailx command with built-in support for MIME messages. This means it can handle international character sets as well as attachments. In recent system environments, nail is Unicode/UTF-8 capable. It further contains some minor enhancements like the ability to set a "From:" Address.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 12.5, as upstream numbers it.
