Has anyone noticed the following bug in the version of mailx distributed
with RTU-3.1A: When a message is sent to an internet address, eg:

	mail someone@host.domain

and also copied to a local user, eg:

	Cc: friend

the sender gets mailed an error message, saying that /usr/bin/lmail couldn't
mail to "friend".  In the cases I have checked, however, the warning is
spurious, and "friend" actually got the copy.

Does this bug exist in the newest mailx release?
