[Mario Sergio Candian]

Brian,

I'm using a FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE. In the manual of mail program, I have 
this:

NAME
      mail, Mail, mailx -- send and receive mail

SYNOPSIS
      mail [-EiInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr ...
           [-sendmail-option ...]
      mail [-EiInNv] -f [name]
      mail [-EiInNv] [-u user]

But, doesnt have a -r option.
