Just plain "in" as a command produces the same error message for me. If you have something like
Code:
yourch="oops\" # accidentally backslashed closing quote producing multi-line string
case "$yourch" in whatever
the error message is different, but I'm speculating that something along those lines might be the expanation, still.
I'm not saying there isn't a backquote too many somewhere, just that the backquote before the `in' seems to be part of the error message's formatting (but then the closing single quote is missing), at least the way it looks here, with bash.
Be that as it may, the original poster had better either post the code exactly as it is (for example, the double quotes around "$yourch" in the error message also don't match the posted code), or look closely for superfluous quotes of all kinds on his own.

readmail(1) General Commands Manual readmail(1)NAME
readmail - read mail from a mail folder or incoming mailbox
SYNOPSIS
folder] [number-list|pattern]
DESCRIPTION
The program displays messages from your incoming mailbox or a specified mail folder.
Within the mail system (see elm(1) with no operands and optionally the or option, displays the appropriate headers and the body of the cur-
rent message.
With the number-list operand and no options, displays the corresponding messages and a summary of the headers from your incoming mailbox.
With the pattern operand and no options, displays the first message that matches the pattern and a summary of the headers from your incom-
ing mailbox.
Options
supports the following options.
Print all messages that match
pattern. If no pattern was specified, this option is ignored.
Use file folder for the operations instead of the incoming mailbox.
Include the entire header of the matched message or messages
when displaying their text. The default is to display the and lines only.
Exclude all headers.
Put form feeds (
between message headers. This is useful when printing sets of messages.
Operands
supports the following operands.
number-list A blank-separated list of the ordinal locations of messages in the mail file (i.e., their "message numbers"), up to
25 at a time. The character means the last message in the mail file. Similarly, represents every message in the
file (i.e.,
The message numbers are sorted into ascending order. Thus, produces the same output as
pattern A string that is present in one of the messages. This pattern can be typed in directly (no quotes) if the words are
separated by a single space in the actual message. The pattern matching is case sensitive, so and are not equiva-
lent. Leading digits (on the first word) are not permitted; however, you can precede them with a space and quote the
entire string, if the space occurs in the message, as in .
EXAMPLES
If you are using to reply to a message from within the mail system, you can insert the text of the current message with the command:
If you define an alias similar to:
you can use it with a program such to peruse mail as it arrives, without needing to start a mail system (see newmail(1)).
