I would suggest that you compare man pages for Heirloom mailx and NetBSD version of mailx. Heirloom mailx does so much more than attachments and threading. It is still the smallest fully featured MUA in existance. To be frank with you I was checking your claim about Heriloom license. Makefile has indeed this line #BSD I would sware that it was custom license but you might be actually right on that one.
