Removing -'s (header) before records in psql

Is it possible to get rid of the "header" of -'s when
selecting rows in psql? For fields with a lot of text,
it looks like:

 select body from news where id=123;
-[ RECORD 1

]-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
body | Additional details ...


Thanks,

All I'm familiar with is \t which will return only tuples, so you'll lose
the headings as well.

Otherwise pipe through sed/head/tail to filter appropriately?

Yeah, I believe so.  Read the psql man page --- there's doubtless
a command line switch and/or \pset option for this.
