We have a source license for 5.2.  A while back I needed to look at
the sources for mailx.  The string, "Copyright (c) 1979  Regents of
the University of California",  appears in the c language sources
for mailx.  It would appear that the only changes to mailx were to
accodate the differences in signal handling and a few other minor
quirks between bsd and sys V.  From the user's point of view,
mailx==/usr/ucb/mail.
