Nail is a rewrite of the `mailx' command (often used to provide `mail')
which has some understanding of MIME conventions. Since `mailx' dated to
1978, the new headers were not supported. I believe `nail' has become
the new default for providing `mail' on many distros now. Outside of
MIME encoding issues, `nail' and `mailx' should have the same interface.
