[flalug] whence /bin/mail?

Back when (Redhat 7.2 and before?) there was a utility called "mail" with
which I could do thing like

echo "Time to make the doughnuts." | mail -s "Doughnut time" emp@dunkin.com

which would send a mail with the subject "Doughnut time" and the body
"Time to make the doughnuts." to emp@dunkin.com . No executable called
"mail" exists anywhere that I can find. I'm using Redhat 8
(sendmail-8.12.5-7). How do I regain that functionality?

Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
