Yes, this is my experience as well.  I've been using it daily, 5-100
msgs/day, for years.

Right, I was going to mention that the Debian heirloom-mailx package
appears to have incorporated the various security and bug fixes since the
last "offical" 12.5 release.  The NetBSD package is based off the Debian
package and so should be at a similar level.

Obviously the best thing would be for someone with the skills and
motivation to take over as offical heirloom-mailx project maintainer.
I would like to nominate Martin. ;)
