---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006280) steffen (reporter) - 2023-05-11 15:58 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1725#c6280 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, it does say what default should be used, but it does not say that this is the actual default. But all looked-at implementations do not set it by default. So as POSIX specifies whether or not a variable is set by default it should definitely do this for *screen*, too. (Reminder that for mailx "set noXY" equals "unset XY", "set noscreen" is thus identically to specify the variable is not set. So "shall be noscreen" means the variable is not set by default, and the default algorithm shall kick in. Which is what implementations do.)
