i'm struggling to include MQ in my version 1.1 mpileup vcf output.
this used to be easy with the samtools version that i used previously.
maybe i'm missing something simple.

my whole command looks a little like this, and doesn't give MQs:

samtools mpileup -g -I -f b37.fa bam1.bam bam2.bam -l bed.bed | bcftools view 
-O v -o out.vcf

including "-s" means put MQ in output, but only if you don't use bcf/vcf, so 
that's no good, right?  ...and indeed i get the same vcf with no MQs.

-t could be the answer, but i haven't managed to use it correctly yet.
i've tried including "-t MQ" and get this error:
Could not parse tag "MQ" in "MQ"

similarly, i tried "-t INFO" (as i'm aiming to get it into the info field of 
the vcf  ... clutching at straws) and got the same error.

any way to avoid these probs and make a vcf with MQ values?

thanks
