To clarify:
* New mail ("N") in /var/spool/mail/theuser that the user reads will
become new mail again in ~/mbox after being automatically moved to
~/mbox upon quitting `mailx`.
* Unread mail ("U") in /var/spool/mail/theuser that the user reads will
become unread mail again in ~/mbox after being automatically moved to
~/mbox upon quitting `mailx`.
GNU mailutils version: 3.13.
