Summary:                    mailx: revert faulty change
Description: 
Hello.

Unfortunately i introduced "another fault", another
non-portable-across-implementations problem.

It is the *metoo* variable that does not affect `alternates' (command)
names in the historical, and the BSD codebases, but _only_ $LOGNAME.
For those, `alternates' are _always_ removed from recipient lists (and
_only_ when replying).
(And the *from* and *sender* variables are non-portable.)

(It is also that further mailx(1) development can hardly be expected in
portable manner, standardizable manner.)
Desired Action: 
On page 3085, line 103783 ff., change

  Suppress the deletion of the user’s login name and any alternative
addresses from the recipient list when replying to a message or sending to
a group. The default shall be nometoo.

nometoo.

On page 3087, line 103869 ff., change

  Declare a list of alternative addresses for the address consisting of the
user’s login name. When responding to a message or sending to a group, if
the metoo variable is unset these alternative addresses shall be removed
from the list of recipients. The comparison of addresses shall be performed
in a case-insensitive manner. With no arguments, alternates shall write the
current list of alternative addresses.
