Another one for gnu.bash.ufo: Scenario: am in GNU emacs, and type the C-@C-uM-| invocation that results in running a command in a subshell and replacing the currently selected piece of text with the result. Much to my surprise, a "You have mail in ..." string appears in the output, which I can only attribute to bash being silly or to some rather interesting file descriptor mix up. Does bash really check for mail in non-interactive shells???
