Actually, I saw the two rewrites first as they were sent via
Personal mail and list mail, and I see personal mail in my Inbox, first, 
usually while list email I read by opening the corresponding 
bug-bash folder.    (i.e. email sorted as it comes in
direct address ->Inbox, list->list-folders)

But anyway, something else is is awry.

Now my root prompt, instead of being red, looks like:

"\[\033[1m\]\[\033[31m\]Ishtar:root#\[\033[0m\] "

;-/

What version of bash has the \[ \] characters to keep it 
from counting chars?
