Oskari, Speaking of simplifications: 1. Is the "clear only if mutt exits with status 0" intentional? If not, ";" would be preferable to "&&". 2. Why do you 'eval $(which mutt)' rather than just running plain 'mutt'? which(1) isn't portable, it's not a POSIX utility nor a POSIX sh built-in, and its output may consequently be unsuitable for shell evaluation.
