O.K., I'm tired of wondering...

Why does System V version 2,3 not have a recursive copy routine (cp -r)?
It would seem like that is something that one would want to do without
too much trouble.

Why does the System V mailer (mailx) not provide for forwarding and 
responding to mail messages (f and r)?
