There's a lot of noise in the patch because of if-else behavior in
trying to determine the mail app. That's why I didn't commit this (it
requires verification of previous mail applications as well).

The mail test should be resistant to changes like these as a lot of
developers in the FOSS community have different opinions on how to do
things and don't follow any particular standard. This `heirloom mailx'
support is just one said example that needs to be fixed.

Thanks,
-Garrett
