Thanks Thiery, well not quite. Actually, something funny happened with
my last email, what I see at the prompt for the super user has some
code which looks like "^ [1;31m", but when I send this email from
emacs to mutt this code becomes converted so in the email it doesn't
look so bad and no one could see what the problem was.  To get around
this I have added a space after the ^ in this email. It's the "^
[1;31m" which really looks bad in the eshell. It looks like this short
piece of code isn't converted but just pronted as it is making the
prompt for the super user look ugly.

cheers
