I reported earlier my problems with bash pausing, only on a host connected to a
network.
Someone suggested to set MAILCHECK to 0, but that didn't help. 
export MAILPATH= didn't help either.

However, setting it to a high value does help!

BTW, I consider it funny and bad design that bash should care about mail;
thats what biff and friends are for. But this seems to be deeply rooted in Unix 
history.
