    Problem Text
    This test may fail on inplementations that write a diagnostic message
    to stdout, terminate .mailrc processing but continue running mailx.

    The assertion for this test states

    If the User Portability Utilities option is supported: When the
    startup file specified by the MAILRC environment variable
    contains one of the following mailx commands: !, edit, hold,
    mail, preserve, reply, Reply, shell, or visual, then mailx
    performs one of the following actions:

    1. writes a message to standard error and exits with status
    greater than zero or

    2. writes a message to standard output, ignores the rest
    of the lines in the startup file, and continues processing.

    But the test requires that a diagnostic messaage is written to
    stderr in all cases.
