[gnu.bash.bug] BASH History command character from HELL

meissner@DG-RTP.DG.COM (Michael Meissner) (06/22/89)

It appears without turning off csh-style history completely (with the
set +o command), there is no way to pass a ! character to a child
process.  I've tried the following:

	Mail site\!user
	Mail 'site!user'
	Mail "site!user"
