Can you please try to use interactive mode (if you can't handle it set the visual editor to vi or something) and see if you can create a file in /tmp, and then after you are done assuming htat you are using vi press wq and then a plain dot (.) to send the mail. If you can create the initial mail body in /tmp, but when you send it says that there is an error it probably mean that the mailx package is not to blame. -- Geoff
