Hmm, are you sure it calls /usr/bin/Mails? The relevant line in
mail-files (for your architecture) says the following:

no -s "$string: $subject" $destin < $file

So I would expect an error like this:

-bash: no: command not found

Anyway, thanks a lot for the report. The reason for this bug is that
sharutils currently has an undeclared build-dependency on mailx. This
bug has been hidden for a lot of years because my working architecture
was i386, and I had mailx installed during the package build. I'm amazed
that none of the users of the non-i386 architectures noticed it before.
I suppose mail-files is not a widely used utility.
