Already fixed (with a couple of other problems) in mailx-8.1.1-17.
I'm experiencing this same core-dump behavior. When will mailx-8.1.1-17 be available?
I'm not sure when the updated rpm will be on the ftp servers, for now you can get the SRC.RPM at http://stoker.stanford.edu/~blomgren/Linux/mailx-8.1.1-17.src.rpm (If traffic gets out of control, I'll have to take it down...)
Well, the src.rpm above is not reachable. But the problem disappears after setting hold flag in mail.rc. Make your /etc/mail.rc looking like this: set ask askcc append dot save crt hold ignore Received Message-Id Resent-Message-Id Status Mail-From Return-Path Via Marek
