State-Changed-When: Sun Feb  5 12:43:20 1995
State-Changed-Why:
This patch is on the right track, but is insufficent.

POSIX.2 requires much of the additional functionality found in mailx.
There are several ~ escapes that are not implemented:

	~A	equivalent to ~i Sign
	~a	equivalent to ~i sign
	~i	insert the value of the named variable.
	~<	read file
	~< !    read pipeline
	~x	exit without writing dead.letter.

Others like ~[fFmM], ~p, etc look like they add additional
requirements/functionality, but I haven't had time to go through them
in detail.

Simply equating 'q' and 'x' won't work because they have different
semantics.
