Summary     : A MIME capable implementation of the mailx command
Description :
Nail is a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1.  It is
intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX.2 mailx command with
additional support for MIME messages, POP3, and SMTP.  In recent system
environments, nail is Unicode/UTF-8 capable.  It further contains some
minor enhancements like the ability to set a From: Address.

It seems there may be quite a few different ones. I am sure SuSE didn't
used to ship this variety, but so far I few it as a step up.
