So, I'm adding it
Useful Mail Stuff
mutt -Z :-: Opens mutt, with a folder with new mail open
mutt -y :-: Opens mutt, with folders
mutt -s <subject> <email address> :-: pipe/redirect stuff to this to send email
Useful Bash Stuff
mesg n :-: sets your tty permissions to -w All. Useful to stop people dumping stuff on your terminal
vim :-: The coolest text editor ever
type :-: This is a bash builtin (I think) that tells you what you're running (where it is, whether it's a builtin, or whatever). I prefer it to which, since its A: always there, and B:knows more about your aliases and stuff
write :-: like hey, but nor formatting
who :-: gives you a list of logged in users. Useful for playing with when your scripting
last :-: gives you a list of the users who *have* logged in. On RB, its in the last month
wget :-: downloads websites
man -k :-: is a synonym for apropos, but easier to spell. Searches for manpages, based on some kind of meta data
