From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Description of problem: There is a problem in the way tcsh reports new received emails. Previously (tcsh-6.12-11.EL3), the shell would show You have new mail. when new mail would arrive for the user. The latest version (tcsh-6.13-9) shows the following: You have You have %smail. mail. I have recompiled the latest tcsh (6.14) and it works fine in reporting new emails to the user. bash works ok also. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tcsh-6.13-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. send email to user 2. wait a few minutes and press return Actual Results: tcsh printed: You have You have %smail. mail. Expected Results: tcsh should have printed: You have new mail. Additional info:
Thanks for your report. As you already know, this is fixed in tcsh 6.14 and therefore it will be fixed in RHEL 5. This is purely a cosmetic issue, so I don't think this warrants an RHEL 4 erratum.
