Package: heirloom-mailx
Version: 12.3-4
Severity: wishlist
After the move from bsd-mailx to heirloom-mailx several system mail is
discarded because the character set doesn't match the current locale.
Mail ends up in dead.letter in the user's home directory.
This can be problematic when system mail contains special characters
such as german umlauts or something. When system reports contain log
file exceprts that accidently contain such characers the mail won't
end up in the admin mailbox but rot in the dead.letter file.
Thus, please implement a command line switch (-x, -z for example) that
simply ignores what kind of character encoding is used in the input
stream and just sends out the mail. It is more important that the
mail is received at all than that it is received with a wrong
character set header.
Regards,
Joey
