There is an upstream's recommendation to use in scripts (including
cron jobs) as "MAILRC=/dev/null mailx", whereas now it is jist "mail".
I don't know whether it is for corner cases or it is an actual issue.
Perhaps we should look how Suse and Slackware package this (btw, Suse
had switched for a long time).
BTW, the current "mail" already reads ~/.mailrc and, depending on "-n",
/etc/mail.rc . Mailx-12.x will do the same (it explains why Suse does
not use any wrappers etc.). IOW, nothing worse.
