net-mail/metamail - removal
I just noticed that "net-mail/metamail" is masked and scheduled for removal 12/23/2022

I'm using "mailto" which is part of metamail.
Is there any alternative package that contain this function "mailto"

Frankly metamail has been dead for decades - the last release was nearly
30 years ago.

If you want to send MIME-encoded email from a command line then just
about any normal mail client such as "mail" from GNU's mailutils package
(Gentoo: net-mail/mailutils) should suffice.
