`J.T. Conklin' changed the state to `analyzed'.
State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed

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.
