[NTLUG:Discuss] Tabbing in bash when mutt is on command line

[Lance Simmons]

When I'm trying to compose a command line that includes "mutt", I
don't seem to be able to use "tab" in bash to do filename completion.

For example, if I type

  $ mutt -s "blah blah" -i fo

and then press "tab" to try to get bash to complete the filename
"foobar", as bash usually does, instead of getting the usual filename
completion, I get:

bash: eval: line -4760: syntax error: unexpected end of file
bash: lbdbq: command not found
bash: eval: line -4760: syntax error: unexpected end of file
bash: lbdbq: command not found

Does anyone know what's causing that?  How do I stop it and go back to
using tab to complete filenames?
