It's defensive typing. I'm in xemacs editing a message. When I go back to
mutt I have to remember to attach the files. Sometimes I forget (As I appear
to have done with that message) so I feel more honest in saying that I mean
to attach them, not that they "are" attached. It's probably silly, and
confusing.

It would appear that mailx is in the ports collection, and not built by
default. A straw pole of the 3 BSD machines I have access to:
nick@plum [nick]$ whereis mailx
mailx: /usr/ports/mail/mailx
nick@plum [nick]$ mailx
bash: mailx: command not found
nick@roast [nick]$ whereis mailx
mailx: /usr/ports/mail/mailx
nick@roast [nick]$ mailx
bash: mailx: command not found
nwc10@colon nwc10$ whereis mailx
mailx: /usr/ports/mail/mailx
nwc10@colon nwc10$ mailx
bash: mailx: command not found

It's freebsd, so ~ m/^(?: hpux | freebsd )$/x will match.

I think that that was it for 5.6isms.
