Odd. It works for me, and here's an extract from man mail on Ubuntu 16.10, which is the only platform my setup script is intended for:

       -a, --append=HEADER: VALUE 
              append given header to the message being sent

       -A, --attach=FILE
              attach FILE

when I do man mail I get this:

Options
     -A account  Executes an account command (see below) for account after the startup files have
                 been read.

     -a file     Attach the given file to the message.  The same filename conventions as described
                 in the section COMMANDS apply: shell word expansion is restricted to the tilde '~'
                 and variables.  Shall file not be accessible but contain a '=' character, then any-
                 thing after the '=' is assumed to specify the input character set and anything
                 before '=' the filename: this is the only option to specify the input character set
                 (and don't perform any character set conversion) for text attachments from the com-
                 mand line, not using the ~@ tilde escape command.

Are you running this on a clean installation? I suspect your mail command is not mapping to the mailutils package, as it should if you have run setup.sh on a clean installation.

You can tell what mail is mapped to on your system by doing something like this:

george@vps347350:~$ which mail
/usr/bin/mail
george@vps347350:~$ file /usr/bin/mail
/usr/bin/mail: symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/mail
george@vps347350:~$ file /etc/alternatives/mail
/etc/alternatives/mail: symbolic link to /usr/bin/mail.mailutils
george@vps347350:~$ file /usr/bin/mail.mailutils 
/usr/bin/mail.mailutils: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=350142cf94bacd9fe5d7f5bd8fb76f62b238aef5, stripped
george@vps347350:~$

from ikev2-setup.
