    Problem Summary TSD4C.00182 This test may fail on implementations where a header field appears in other places in the mailx output.
    Problem Text
    The test may fail on implementaions that display unique header which
    has included the "Date" string at start up.
    On our implementation, this test case resulted in as follows.

    -------- beginning -------

    >>echo discard | mailx -n -f mailx_in

    mailx Revision: 1.179.112.4 Date: 96/02/02 17:15:17 Type ? for help.
    "mailx_in": 5 messages
    > 1 vs0 Thu Jun 20 05:27 38/1116 VSC_TEST_MESSAGE_1 STRING

    received
    return-path

    ------- end of line-------

    We think that the purpose of this test case is to verify if the output of "discard"
    sub command of mailx displays only the discarded header-field names.
    However, this test examins all output of the command line
    "echo discard | mailx -n -f mailx_in", including the standard output of mailx command.
    We believe that Test Suite should check the only lines which include
    "received" or "return-path" string.
    We think this failed case is caused by Test Suite Deficiency.
