Not really, news, but I was reminded again this evening that mail is not available at the command line in recent default installs of Ubuntu (or kubuntu /xubuntu). If you're like me and make use of this for scripting notifications.... you'll need to sudo apt-get install mailx (and a MTA like postfix.) Mailx requires postfix/sendmail/qmail and that's why it's not installed by default so users don't have an MTA sitting on their system for no good reason.
