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.

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.
