I ran into this in a past life...  System V.3 added the "-s" option to
/bin/mail, which mailx seems to (usually) use.  The fix was to modify
"svbinmail.c" from the smail distribution to recognize "-s" as an option
for /bin/mail (add "s" to the getopt string and the following switch statement.)
Sorry, no diffs, this is from memory.
