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
