Package: bsd-mailx
Version: 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-2
Severity: wishlist

every so often i mistakenly type "mail" rather than "mailq" and have to
quickly suspend and kill it so that it doesn't bugger up the read/unread
status on my mailbox or, worse, move my inbox to ~/mbox (i don't even
want mutt doing that).

i've been doing this for years.

mail itself is quite useful - WHEN i want to use it.  i often use it
to send mail from the command line or from a script.  so i don't want
to uninstall or disable it.

it would be nice, however, to have a "quitifnoargs" (or similar) command
that i could put in ~/.mailrc or /etc/mail.rc so that i can't
accidentally run mail when i want to run mailq.
