I think you're getting packages a little mixed up due to all the
occurences of mailx.

There are two preexisting packages:

unmaintained/mailx-support
main/mailx

mailx-support is the "lockspool" utility from OpenBSD, which should
probably be used whenever mbox-format spools are used.
If it were renamed to lockspool, that would be more informative.

main/mailx is in main, so I don't want to purge it just yet.
But it would be more accurate to rename it to main/mail

Now, a note: If heirloom-mailx gets renamed to mailx, it will need one
alteration:
I'm using the package name to rename mailx.1 so it doesn't conflict with
man-pages.
In my experiene, the magic that the fts APKBUILD uses to try to avoid
intalling fts-doc along with man-pages doesn't work, so I'd rather not
duplicate it.

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham
