It's not a Debian-specific extension, per-se : the patch to add -X was floating around for a couple of years back in the early to mid 90's I vaguely remember. A quick google search shows that it's distributed with the EXMH source (eg. http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/tcl/src/exmh-1.6.1/misc/uncompface.patch) ...which'd be where I remember it from - EXMH being my primary source of joy before I changed to Gnus back in...95 or 96... -- Andrew J Cosgriff calling from a country phone
