On the mailx man page, under "Examples" and "Getting Started" is the
following:

"If, while  you are composing the message you decide that you do not wish
to send it after all, you can abort the letter  with  a RUBOUT. Typing a
single RUBOUT causes mailx to print `(Interrupt -- one more  to  kill
 letter)'. Typing  a  second RUBOUT causes mailx to save your partial
letter on the file `dead.letter' in your home directory and abort the
letter."

Also, under "Binary Options", is the following:

"*save  *When the user aborts a message with two RUBOUT (interrupt
characters) mailx copies the partial letter to the file 'dead.letter' in
the home directory. This option is set by default."

Forgive my ignorance, but I cannot get this RUBOUT feature to work? I
Googled this and sources suggest the "Delete" key, but that doesn't work. I
also tried the "Backspace" key without success.

Thanks in advance for your help.
