Yes or no: Do you have verifiable evidence that the Mail program shipped
with BSD 4.3 worked the way you claim?

You are asking the rest of us to believe

   (1) that BSD mail originally used (Reply-To/From)+To+Cc,

   (2) that this was changed to the current Reply-To/(From+To+Cc),

   (3) that this change happened after mailx was split off, but before
       net1 was released, and

   (4) that IBM changed mailx to the current Reply-To/(From+To+Cc).

The obvious explanation for the facts I reported is that Mail and mailx
always did Reply-To/(From+To+Cc), except that Sun decided to switch.

In any case, your table remains factually incorrect.
