[comp.unix.questions] Printing BSD mail messages to lpr.

overby@agrigene.UUCP (Scott Overby) (04/04/89)

How does one print, from within mail, a message to lpr?  I know one can save
 the message to a file and then print, but I want to print it directly.

I believe there is an 'l' command which prompts for a filename, and you
may pipe that filename to a command. Try typeing 'man msg' if this does
not work for you. (Provided, of course, that msg is your mail reader :)
