        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
