Are the "to program" and binary format not compatible?
copy msgs (msg) to program 'bzip2 > /...' with format binary
gives me a syntax error at "format"
Trying older-style syntax without "with" does the same thing.

The correct syntax is:
COPY msgs (msg) TO PROGRAM 'bzip2 > /...' WITH (FORMAT 'binary');

Thank you!
I was staring at the docs and just totally missing the '('...
Small oddity though, I tried the 'encoding' option same as I tried format, without the parens, and it worked--which really threw me off.
