It's an "artifact" of whatever your email displays Escape with. Mutt shows ^[ , whereas less shows ESC in inverse video. Less -r "gobbles up" part of the string, so that you see " menu-complete unless you search for <SPACE>, in which case the line changes to " ": menu-complete (with all the spaces in inverse-video. Emacs (my composition window in mutt) makes things less ambiguous, displaying the ^[ in cyan. Thanks for all the completion menus: a useful set of examples. Cheers, David.
