Well, the Heirloom code does this:
if ((cp = getenv("MAILRC")) != NULL)
load(expand(cp));
else if ((cp = getenv("NAILRC")) != NULL)
load(expand(cp));
else
load(expand("~/.mailrc"));
if (getenv("NAIL_EXTRA_RC") == NULL &&
(cp = value("NAIL_EXTRA_RC")) != NULL)
load(expand(cp));
So: yes and no.
I personally use the NAIL_EXTRA_RC approach, because i have only one set of
startup files i use on every OS, with many settings shared in between my
POSIX-compatible .mailrc, and what would end up as NAILRC. Slightly more
expensive to load, but easier to maintain.
Doesn't matter if you use nail exclusively, not side-by-side with a native
mailx(1). :)
