Heirloom mailx also supports threads and has BSD license. Who wants such an
mailx, can install the port. If you make from OpenBSD mailx a mailx
similar to heirloom mailx, then there will be no small mail client
anymore.

Perhaps the only interesting improvement of mailx would be to make
it possible to pass the headers through an external filter: for 
searching, ordering, etc. As far as I know this is not possible.
Heirlom mailx has also an interesting -H option.

For supporting mime, perhaps can everyone write his own script. For
example tcl tcl using tcllib, there is a library for Manipulation of 
MIME body parts.  

BTW, I just discovered that also alpine supports threading. I never
used it.
