Summary 0001109: Internal *bang* variable does not affect ~<! command escape
Description ..but only ! command and !~ command escape.

This is true for Illumos-gate /usr/src/cmd/mailx, Apple mailx (10.10, 2015-10-13), NetBSD Mail. Also for my clone. OpenBSD Mail does not have this command escape at all.

Note that Apple Mail (and also illumos, but i may misremember) do not even update the storage unless *bang* is set, i.e., no expansion would happen for the first command after setting *bang*. (Unless something is still lingering.)
Desired Action On line 97791, change

  The default shall be nobang, disabling the expansion of '!' in the command argument to the ˜! command and the ˜<!command escape.

to

  The default shall be nobang, disabling the expansion of '!' in the command argument to the ! command and the ˜! command escape.

 There are more problems with the description of the bang variable than are reported here.

Change:
Enable the special-case treatment of <exclamation-mark> characters ('!') in escape command lines; see the escape command and [xref to Command Escapes in mailx]. The default shall be nobang, disabling the expansion of '!' in the command argument to the ˜! command and the ˜<!command escape.
