[comp.os.vms] Help with MAIL & PRINT

rde@eagle.ukc.ac.uk (R.D.Eager) (08/05/87)

Can anyone help with this one, please?

If I use MAIL, and issue the PRINT command to queue a message to the printer,
MAIL batches up the print jobs until I exit or type PRINT/PRINT. So far, OK.

Now, sometimes I make a mistake....and I want to cancel that print job. OK,
I can exit from MAIL and try to delete it...but chances are it's already
being printed.

Anyone know how to *stop* MAIL fir5ing off its print job? I tried ^Y, but
all that happens is that the job goes off as soon as I start another image
(MAIL must have an image rundown routine to queue the print job, I guess).

Any ideas gratefully received.
