Note that under Debian/unstable, /usr/bin/which now gives a warning:

/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command -v' in 
scripts instead.

If you're using "clear" for privacy reasons and your terminal happens
to have an alternate screen, note that "clear" will *not* clear the
alternate screen. For instance, with xterm, after quitting Mutt, you
can do a Ctrl-MiddleClick, then click on "Show Alternate Screen", and
this reveals Mutt's contents just before Mutt has quit.
