I feel silly now - I had thought "nail" was a typo for "mail".

I've applied it and it works: the logcheck output is sent as the message
body and the nail error is sent at the bottom.

However, I can't find a package that provides nail. The nail package is
a dummy package which depends on heirloom-mailx, but that doesn't
provide a symlink for nail or anything. Should I file a bug for
heirloom-mailx and/or nail? Or should logcheck not try to use nail?

Also, the logcheck package depends on mailx, which can be satisfied by
bsd-mailx, mailutils, and a dummy mailx package, but not heirloom-mailx.
Should that be a separate bug?


Thanks,
John
