Hiya, i'm new here and new to Zorin. Beautiful UI btw.
This issue has prompted me to sign up.
I'm trying to set up a fresh install of Zorin to do some tasks each week, and then email me a report. I've set this up successfully in the past on Mint (21.3) and on Ubuntu (24.04). I can get the email to work, but not completely. It can't send an attachment. I also had to employ a different syntax. Basically, mailx on Zorin does not understand -A and -a doesn't work to attach files to the email. It does on Ubuntu and Mint.
So i went-a-huntin' for information and it seems there's different implementations of mailx out there. But that said, both Mint and Zorin are based on Ubuntu, and i've installed the mailutils package the same way: sudo apt install mailutils.
This guy had a similar problem, sadly no actual solutions were offered: email - Difference between mail and mailx? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
I tried to invoke the help, and it has a problem on Zorin:
$ mailx --help
mailx: invalid option -- '-'
usage: mailx [-dEIinv] [-a header] [-b bcc-addr] [-c cc-addr] [-r from-addr] [-s subject] [--] to-addr ...
mailx [-dEIiNnv] -f [name]

vs
Ubuntu (or Mint):
$ mailx --help

Zorin uses an older version of mailutils vs my Ubuntu 24.04, but Mint's version is older too. 3.17 is the latest. So i screwed around, not really knowing what i'm doing and i managed to get 3.17 installed on Zorin:
sudo apt install mailutils
mailutils is already the newest version (1:3.17-1.1build3).
Don't worry, this is currently on a VM while i work out how to do things in Zorin - i really didn't expect it to be much different to Mint under the hood. Sadly my janky efforts didn't make a difference. Exactly the same situation.
I'm at a loss. I've invested a fair bit of time and effort into my scripts that make use of mailx, so i'd rather not change them if i don't have to.
I'd love some ideas 
Thanks.
Anyway, I've just downloaded the iso again and i'll try doing the mail thing straight up.
