Hello,

Over at the Mandriva Cooker list there's a discussion about nail and
it's syntax. The problem is that if the order of the options is
different then what the manpage suggests, it breaks.
When you run nail like this:
$mail aa...@zz... -s subject <rtrn>
It immediately gives the "Subject:" prompt which is different from mailx.
The manpage of nail and also of mailx suggest to use it like this:
nail [-BDdFintv~] [-s subject] [-a attachment ] [-c cc-addr] [-b
bcc-addr] [-r from-addr] [-h hops] [-A account] to-addr . . .
Using the options in this order works allright.

The point is that there are a lot of scripts that have a different
ordering of options, and they will break when running with nail. Would
it be possible to accept a different ordering of options in nail? What
do you think?

Regards,
