Hi! I often get a bash message about new mail during command line completion.
Steps to reproduce: Type "ls ~/.bas" and press tab. Expected result: Command line completed to "ls ~/.bash" or whatever is right. Actual result: If new mails have arrived, the mail check is performed when pressing tab, rendering the whole command line like this: $ ls ~/.basYou have mail in /var/mail/user h This is a real problem for both readability and subsequent editing of the command line. I would therefore like to see bash modified in such a way that the mail check is never executed in response to a completion. Instead, the only places where such a check should be performed are in my opinion the initial prompt after startup and any prompt after a command was actually executed. Just pressing enter with an empty command line should also do the check, I think. Greetings, Martin von Gagern
