There's mail-client/mailx which provides mail and is what you're |
| 36 |
thinking of most likely (there were actually a few different |
| 37 |
mail/Mail/mailx command line UNIX MTAs.) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
But I wouldn't recommend it for general use (I prefer mutt) though I did |
| 40 |
use it for such for a number of years in the 80s... |
