And I missed that message. Yahoo "randomly" does hide mailing list mail
in the Spam folder on the server and I don't notice this by using POP
accounts.

My understanding is that
$SHELL
vs 
ls -l /usr/bin/sh
was mentioned earlier by this thread.

I repeat myself, your one-liner is still fishy, no matter what shell you
are using, if the "touch" command should fail for whatsoever reason,
bash as well as dash will run "rm".

$ { [ $(true)$? -eq 0 ] && false || echo "Hello Kitty"; }
