You want to open a bug report on this, unless there is a bug report
already.
Your best bet is to use the reportbug program, just run:
reportbug mailutils
Try to describe what got you to this situation according to normal bug
reporting styles, what is the environment, what you tried to do, what
you expected to happen and what happened.
It would be a good idea to provide a backtrace of the crash, this can
easily be done by running the program under gdb with the command:
gdb mail
In the gdb shell you run the program with 'run' and after it crashed you
get the backtrace with 'bt'.
Send this backtrace in the bug report.
It would have been a good idea to provide debug information in the
backtrace but the deb package for mailutils doesn't have support for
this, even though the Debian Packaging policy is to include such option.
You could try to install 'mailx' instead of mailutils in the meantime.
