Given Harold's name change of the aux.c file, +1 for nail.
However, I read the man page of the email package and it looks interesting

Way back when, the OpenSSH sources contained a file called aux.c as well.
After I had explained the problem on Windows, the file has been renamed to
misc.c. I'm glad that not all developers are fundamentalists as the nail
