Can someone explain that one?  That expects a file named 
"uid@remotehost" if the ":" is missing, IIRC.

This works (and is the difference between trying something late at night 
vs. early in the morning):

mutt |

   cat > file.tmp && scp file.tmp otherhost: && rm file.tmp

But I like the fifo suggestion, too.
