Thanks.  I installed mailx and then `which Mail` succeeded; however,
when I tried:

  Mail -s test cppljevans@suddenline.net

and then just entered a 1 line message followed by
and empty line followed by Ctrl-D.  Nothing
showed in my thunderbird inbox for several minutes.

Any ideas what I should do.  I'm just trying to
submit the test results as instructed by:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html

Is there come easier way?

TIA.

No.  The about output is what's printed by emacs after
a compile where the compile command is just `which Mail`.
It was just meant to show that I didn't have Mail.
