[ale] You've got mail.

What i think is wrong.

either your .bashrc or your .bash_profile doesn't meet the new impoved way
of checking to see if you have mail..  You said this happened after you
upgraded.. The usesers that don't get this message were they actually
created after or before the upgade.

a quick and ugly fix.

#.bashrc

clear

if [ ! mail -e ] 
then
	echo "You've Got New Mail"
fi



put that at the end..  There are better ways.. but this is the most
generic and easy to understand.

hope this helps
