Hello!
I search a program to send email called mail.
I don't find it in portage.
I don't know which package contains this program and I don't know the
right command to find a file inside all the package ( I can do that
only with the installed software using qpkg)
Can someone explain me where is this program and/or the command to find
a file inside a package?
Thanks,
Luigi

sending mail about softball games. And I've got this pain right
through my ALU.
I've asked for it to be replaced, but nobody ever listens. I think it
would be better for us both if you were to just log out again.

I think you probably want mail-client/mailx.

emerge mailx or any MTA. mail itself is provided by mailx, and several
MTA's including sendmail, exim and others, although mailx is much more
powerful than the mail command itself. :)
