Summary: mailx: more clarification on system mailbox
Description:
The current text "suggests" the commands work in any
mailbox, but the code bases shortcut to "edstop()"
unless in a primary (system) mailbox, and only then
$MBOX comes into play at all.
(My own clone has a TODO to change that for the "mbox"
command, as that always makes sense, like $MBOX being
the default for the "save" command, but that
off-topic. And was issue #991.)
Desired Action:
on page 2960, line 98141-2, "touch", change
Touch the specified messages. If any message in
msglist is not specifically deleted nor saved
in a file, it shall be placed in the mbox upon
normal termination. See exit and quit.
to
Touch the specified messages. If the current
mailbox is the system mailbox any message in
msglist that is not specifically deleted nor
saved in a file shall be placed in the mbox
upon normal termination. See exit and quit.
