Well, actually I did not suggest to directly import mailx. My intention was to query whether FreeBSD is interested in tracking the Unix 98 standard (which has mailx) and, if so, open a PR indicating that this is a missing item. From the submission form it's not evident at all that "wish"es need to include patches. As this is not intuitive (Usually one does not fulfill his wishes by himself, does he?), some note on the web form would make sense. Interestingly enough, send-pr in FreeBSD 4.0 does not have a "wish" category at all, just "sw-bug", "doc-bug", "change-request"!?
