Yup, just need to send this attachment. Well, I can't see the output as its ran by the daemon, I just try try to run as a user whom also doesn't have a local mb and get prompted which to create a new mb. Just before I could look into Mike's reco, someone on the mutt list presented what just might be the working muttrc conf I needed. -f /dev/null and 'set folder=/dev/null' looks like what I was after. I should have the machine back up for testing tomorrow...
