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.
