removed packages / add mail


I was on a file frenzy a couple of days ago and removed a couple of binaries that I intended to use,

The mail binary / (CLI interface, type #'mail' at the sh) doesn't work anymore.
I have checked through my removed packages and added everything with mail in them and searched the packages on slackwares site. ('http://www.slackware.com/pb/')
With no luck!

Could anyone tell me the correct name for the slackpack?

A good way to find stuff you accidentally removed is to do some grepping in /var/log/removed_packages/ and /var/log/removed_scripts/
