Now that's interesting: I use 'sudo' meself. A curious bug in puTTY. Another thing: wouldn't your prompt change automatically,
from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But I take it from your last section that
you are actually getting all your email from /var/mail/, right, since if you were using POP to get remotely stored
mail, the user would not matter. I never bothered setting that up (aside from administrivia of errors and updates
etc. that i set it to mail). Didn't really seem worth it. Why did you?

/me is Off to see if Thunderbird will colorise like Mutt.

To elaborate, PuTTy changes the window title to root whenever it detects

an "su", but it does not change the window title back when the su is
exited. Not a big deal since my command prompt also changes when I
become root, so I can see at a glance whether I am root or not. Normally
I am not. I am never root when I run mutt, since if I were, I would get
the mailbox of the root user, which doesn't have any interesting emails
in it.
