To install the console mail utility you have to install the
mailutils package:

apt-get install mailutils

Instead of mail, you can also use nail[1] which is somewhat more
powerful.

With nail, you can easily add attachments to your mails from the
command line, for example:

$ echo "Test" | nail -a slides.pdf -s "Slides" jhair.tocancipa@xxxxxxxxx

sends the slides.pdf file to my email account.

nail also can send emails without the help of an additional MTA, among
many other cool things.
