NAME
printmail - format mail in a readable fashion for printing
SYNOPSIS
printmail {-p} {filename}
DESCRIPTION
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 formfeed 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.
EXAMPLE
A typical usage of this command is;
printmail | lpr
