I understood from your .sig...

Ahem. Well, I understood from your .sig that you're talking about
Debian Linux (BTW, it's Debian GNU/Linux, not the other way). Huh.
We Debian developers tend to say such things...

Nevermind. I'm not sitting in front of my Linux box, but I telnetted
to master.debian.org and found the following for you:

debian:~/ftp/hamm> grep bin/mail Contents-i386
usr/bin/mail    mail/mailx


So just install the package mailx. It works nice with exim and any
other mailer daemon.

Vadik.
