 Okay, thanks for looking at this :) I'll fix the issues you're
 pointed at, and submit a new version of the patch.

 Well, I've interpreted the phrase "The mailx utility shall write nothing
 and exit with a successful return code if there is mail to read" like
 that "one should not print anything in "there is mail" case". 
 Of course, since most prospective use of -e is in scripts, printing
 in "no mail" case is, perhaps, futile :)
