Searching in packages [1] for metamail leads me to a list of news, the first one
(in reverse chronological order) telling me that it has been removed from testing

the reason you were probably seeking ("RoQA; orphaned, missing upstream, buggy").
There is a bug report linked, with additional additional-info.
Does this help?
yes, thanks. I had just looked at the 1st one... I feel surprising that such a program didn't find any new maintener. as there are, for other applications, a big number of packages to do almost the same job. I found a replacement candidate to metamail, reformime. I'll see wether it can provide the same functiunality(expecting it will not get orphaned too!) best regards, -- Pierre Frenkiel
