   For anybody who uses /use/ucb/mail (I am not sure about SV) one can

   This bit of magic was shown to me by one of the other systems
   programmers here. I have not delved into the source for /usr/ucb/mail
   to figure out what else can go in to this file or what other magic can
   be done.

The use of the ~/.mailcf file is not a function of /usr/ucb/[Mm]ail;
rather, it's a function of sendmail.  [Mm]ail's (mailx') configuration
is based entirely in ~/.mailrc.  ~/.mailcf is in the same format
(including your header example) as /usr/lib/sendmail.cf.
