Add this to the end (well, before the closing quote):
|cut -f1-2 -d' '
As an aside, what version of Mutt do you use? On 1.2.4, I don't see
any use for the sed bit. I guess your output must be be a little
different. Just in case, what the cut command above does is include
just the first two fields of the line, treating fields as
space-delimited. So, on my box, it takes the output of your line:
Mutt 1.2.4i (2000-07-07)
And spits out everything before the second space. You may need to
modify it a bit if you're dealing with something slightly different.
