I'm running Fedora Core 4 but my situation is similar to yours.  I
have a mailx man page, but it is part of the man-pages RPM.  There is
no mailx executable.  Use "mail" instead.  "man mail" for more
information.

BTW, for a friendlier mail client, use "mutt", "elm", or "pine".
"mail" (and later, "mailx") was the first ever mail client for UNIX,
and is none too friendly.
