heirloom-mailx

This is version 12.4 of "heirloom-mailx"

History

The mailx program began at Berkely around 1978. The BSD version continued to be updated until 1993. That code was later forked (around the year 2000) into the nail project, which added first the MIME changes to email from the 1990s and then additional features like reading remote mail stores (POP and IMAP).

In 2006 Gunnar Ritter adopted it into the "heirloom" project and changed the name back to mailx. The last update was apparently in 2008, version 12.4. This version comes from nail-12.4-14.mga6.src.rpm

It has the ten patches from that RPM applied, and the ChangeLog has been updated with the changes listed in nail.spec. The patches include fixing CVE-2004-2771 and killing off SSLv2.
