11 > dev-python/twisted-19.10.0 (/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/mail)
12 > net-mail/mailutils-3.9 (/usr/bin/mail)
13 > net-mail/mailutils-3.9 (/bin/mail -> ../usr/bin/mail)
14 > net-mail/mailutils-3.9 (/etc/mailutils.d/mail)

18 > mail: /usr/bin/mail /bin/mail /usr/share/man/man1/mail.1.bz2
