glad i could help... sorry i needed to... :/
my trouble at the moment is that 'psql' MANDATES that i supply a
dbname, even if i'm going to 'psql -l' or 'psql -V', which i'll
post in a separate thread. (i'm on pg 7.1 now, but still using
potato.)

Interested in CUSTOMIZING MUTT to work the way you'd like?
Visit Tom Gilbert's site at http://linuxbrit.co.uk/mutt/ and
download his .muttrc to your home directory (save it under a
different name if you're paranoid like I am, then tell mutt
":source file/path/here" to give it a whirl). Wow!
