Unless you happened to be using heirloom-mailx instead of bsd-mailx.
Then in stretch you end up with heirloom-mailx (a transitional dummy
package), and s-nail, but no command named "mailx" or "mail". Unless you
*also* happened to install mailutils or the stretch version of bsd-mailx
(which is possible if you have some other package installed that depends
on "mail-reader" or "mailx", which would drag in bsd-mailx).
