printmail(1)

printmail1

Format mail in a readable fashion for printing

Usage

printmail -p filename

Overview

Printmail copies all messages from either the file specified or the default user mailbox with each message separated by a line of dashes. With the -p option, the messages are separated by a form feed instead.

In fact, this command is actually just a slightly differently formatted call to readmsg:

	readmsg {-p} {-f filename} *

which does all the work here.

Examples

A typical usage of this command is;

	printmail | lpr
