Right. Thank you very much for testing and finding this.
I've fixed it in the CVS repository now.

By the way, for testing, you can send messages directly
to an mbox file on local disk with "mailx ./file", so
you don't need to clutter up your mailbox with these.
Also, LANG is the weakest of the locale variables and
gets overridden by everything else. So to enforce a
locale, LC_ALL=C is better since it is the strongest.
