Package: bsd-mailx
Version: 8.1.2-0.20100314cvs-1
Severity: normal
According to it's man-page, it is possible to add the -a option several
times ("This argument [-a] may be specified more than once, the headers
will then be concatenated.")
But if I send a mail with
echo "mailbody" | mail -a "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" \
-a "X-Header1" -a "X-Header2" -s "Test" [email protected]
I get something like
To: [email protected]
Subject: Test
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Message-Id: <some unique number>
Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2011 10:46:39 +0200 (CEST)
From: [email protected] (root)
X-Header1
X-Header2
mailbody
Only the first option is added as header while the others are added
to the mail body.
Could you please make mail behave like it's man-page says?
Thanks,
Frank

Thanks for finding this out. Since it's not a bug, I'm closing the bug
report.
