Actually, that's not what -x does. The -x option is used when starting
a new email from the command line interactively. I guess it doesn't
affect anything if you use batch mode, which seems to work the same
regardless of whether you use -x or not. Perhaps a bit surprisingly,
since I'd expect that if you used -x then mutt would expect a line
with "." to end the body text.
The man page says:
-x Emulate the mailx compose mode.
... which IMHO is a better phrasing than "simulate the mailx send mode"
used in mutt -h.
Anyway, the point is that batch mode works equally well with or without
the -x. :-)
All this is based on my own testing, so hopefully someone will correct
me if I'm wrong. :-)
