With control-c two times mailx does not quit and create dead.letter !!

And what's the expected behavior ?

It looks fine to me.

Mmm... I thought you were talking about last version in ~arch. I think is time to stabilize mailx-20040524-r1

Anyway, try ~arch version [ 20040524-r1 ] and see if it fixes your problem. It works for me.

mailx-8.1.2.20040524-r1 is stable now.

Resolving this one.
