Thanks Scott, that really helped. I typed the commands you gave it looked like mailx was installed. rpm -qf /bin/mail and got mailx-8.1.1-26 but when I typed mailx on the command line I get "no suct file" message. I even try using the "which command" but no luck. Even the man pages does not have any entry for mailx. Where does the executable of mailx live? Thanks again.
