SP> The usage is wrong.  The correct usage is:

SP>   mail -E 'set readonly'

OK, I was looking at the output of "variables",

which has the odd

Current value: yes
Current value: [not set]

two possibilities for booleans,

which would better be written as

Current value: [set]
Current value: [not set]

and the man page,

       --set=PARAM=VALUE
              set configuration parameter

which needs to say something more like

se[t] [name[=[string]]...] [name=number...] [noname...]


By the way, maybe with

mail -E 'set readonly'

using the delete etc. command should complain that messages won't really be 
deleted.

P.S.,

Responding to a message with
|From: Sergey Poznyakoff <address@hidden>
|To: "積丹尼 Dan Jacobson" <address@hidden>
|Cc: <address@hidden>

If I hit r I also send to myself.
If I hit R I don't send to the Cc:
If I hit fo or F I see you in To: twice.
No command that just sends to the From and Cc.

I'm not sure (info "(mailutils) Replying") addresses this issue.
