Changelog

bsd-mailx (8.1.2-0.20131005cvs-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream version from OpenBSD CVS repository.
  * Remove 23-Treat-new-line-only-messages-as-empty-ones.patch, introduced 
    in 1:8.1.2-0.20071017cvs-1 so that bsd-mailx will behave like other mailx
    implementations and will not treat messages containing a single new line 
    only as an empty ones (LP: #607099, reopens #355545).
  * Extend description of this package to mention the fact that bsd-mailx lacks
    many features that may be found in other packages like heirloom-mailx
    or mailutils (closes: #508303).
  * Add 26-Fix-confusing-error.patch to make a message given when -b is used
    without -t less confusing (closes: #327809).
  * Fix 00-Makefile.patch not to override CC and pass CPPFLAGS while compiling.
  * debian/rules:
    + apply patch from Ubuntu to respect DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE when selecting CC 
      for cross-compiling;
    + do not try to run make clean on unpatched Makefile.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4 (no changes).

bsd-mailx: simple mail user agent

 bsd-mailx is the traditional simple command-line-mode mail user agent.
 Even if you don't use it, it may be required by other programs.
 .
 The /usr/bin/mail command provided by this package is a very simple one,
 and does not include many features that can be found in more advanced
 mail user agents.
 .
 For example bsd-mailx DOES NOT support:
  - MIME (i.e. no attachments, no UTF-8 or other charsets support);
  - SMTP protocol (/usr/sbin/sendmail interface only is used);
  - POP3/IMAP (bsd-mailx reads local mailboxes only);
  - maildir format (traditional mbox only format is supported).
 .
 If the above features are needed, please consider installing another package
 providing similar /usr/bin/mail interface:
  - heirloom-mailx package,
  - or mailutils package.
