Subject: [PATCH] Make apticron work correctly with more mailx implementations
BSD-mailx and mailutils' mailx don't do character set detection or
conversion, but do not send proper mime-headers either. Therefore, make
them send correct headers by means of their -a option.
Heirloom-mailx detects the message charset, can do character set
conversion and sends proper mime-headers. However, correct character set
detection depends on the LC_CTYPE locale setting. The Debian changelog
entries (which apticron is sending) are encoded in UTF-8. Detection can
fail if LC_CTYPE is not set to a UTF-8 locale, in which case the message
might be sent as application/octet-stream. Setting ttycharset to utf-8
makes it use a text/plain content type.
