That works, but only for a single alias. I was hoping to get a list of all aliases, each alias/group on a single line. Backstory -- Sometimes I use mutt, and I'd like to dynamically import all of my NMH aliases into mutt. So i'm using this command ali | sed -e 's/://' -e 's/^/alias /' which works great, as long as each alias/group is on a single line. --hymie!
