Description of problem:
The options for mailx descriped in the mailx man page does not match the
implementation of mailx.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mailx-12.4-1
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "man mailx"
2. use that information to try to use /bin/mailx
3.
Actual results:
Many options fail.
For example, the "-e" option is described in the man page, but running
"mailx
-e" produces:
mailx: invalid option -- e
Usage: mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr ...
[-- sendmail-options ...]
mail [-iInNv] -f [name]
mail [-iInNv] [-u user]
Expected results:
The options described in the mailx man page should match what the mailx program
accepts.
