Mailx is a shell-function which is used in the script:
# Character set handling differs between the different mailx
# implementations in Debian. Make sure we send proper headers, and a
# text/plain content type.
Mailx() {
if [ "x`readlink -e /usr/bin/mailx`" = "x/usr/bin/heirloom-mailx" ]
then
# heirloom-mailx creates correct headers, but needs help
# if the terminal charset (LC_CTYPE) is no UTF-8 locale
/usr/bin/mailx -S ttycharset=utf-8 "$@"
else
# bsd-mailx/mailutils' mailx don't do character set
# conversion, but do not support MIME either.
/usr/bin/mailx -a "MIME-Version: 1.0" \
-a "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" \
-a "Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit" \
"$@"
fi
}
The reason why you didn't receive emails from apticron should be
something else...
