Hey it's me again,

I also have Debian distrib. and my asmail got installed into
/usr/bin/X11/asmail.  Most likely your asmail is in a directory in your path so
do:

$ which asmail

and it'll display which directory the file is in.  If that's the case then you
don't need to specify which directory asmail binary is in at all.  Here's how
my wharf entry looks like for asmail:

*Wharf asmail - Swallow "asmail" asmail -geometry +0+0 &

(wait a second why did I put that geometry in there? I have no idea :)
