For those of you not well-versed in email formatting standards, in
most cases email with HTML content will be packaged in two parts, the
HTML part and a second plain-text part (usually, the HTML rendered
into flat text without images).  When Geoff says "HTML only email" he
means messages with the first of those two parts but not the second.

Gmail itself (the web UI) always produces both parts, or has up to now
-- I don't know if that might have changed with the new UI that came
out recently, but I hope not.

That is one of the versions that will have the bug I described.  You
should be able to grab the bashcompinit file from 5.4.2 or later and
drop it in.
