    Problem Report Number 0791
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Problem Resolution ID TSD.X.0306
    Raised 1970-01-01 08:00
    Updated 2003-03-13 08:00
    Published 1997-12-03 08:00
    Product Standard Commands and Utilities V2 (UNIX 95)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.6
    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/mailx 365 366
    Problem Summary TSD4C.00205 This test may fail on implementations that insert a status header line.
    Problem Text

    The command:
    printf "set toplines=4\ntop 1\nsave 1 365_1.out\n" | mailx -n -f mailx_in | awk '
    creates 365_1.out with a Status header. The output of the top command
    does not have a Status header.
    Since the mail file being processed contains no status headers when
    mailx is started, the top command does not display a status header.
    The status header gets added *after* the top command completes.

    When the status header is updated during a mailx command
    is not defined by the standard.
    If the test is changed to:
    printf "set toplines=4\ntouch 1\ntop 1\nsave 1 365_1.out\n"
    | mailx -n -f mailx_in | awk '
    mailx will have added a status header as a result of the touch
    command and the subsequent top and save commands will have
    status headers with the same status code.
