I saved the first to JohnSmith (name changed to protect the
innocent):
? s1 JohnSmith [Appended] 4760 bytes
which worked properly. When I tried to save the second to nytimes
(real name!) I got:
? s2 nytimes mailx: nytimes: Snorkeling on empty pipe
ERROR# ? errors
1. nytimes: Snorkeling on empty pipe
and it didn't save. I could save it to a different file name. I
could open that file with mail and save it to nytimes. I could open
nytimes. The error seems to require both messages. The word
Snorkeling does not appear in either. Snorkeling is in nytimes, but
not that phrase. I switched from mailx 12.5 recently, when Slackware
upgraded to it.
mailx v14.9.11, 2018-08-08 (build for linux)
Slackware, latest; kernel 4.19.4
