Nope, all such are supported by nail itself.Regarding the minimal install -- Does it have Mozilla's nss library or not? For the "Security Consolidation" process, recently started in Fedora, we should build mailx/nail against nss (instead of openssl). On the other hand, if the current "minimal installs" don`t have nss, then IMHO we should still use openssl (at least while openssh uses it)...
