PRINTMAIL(1L)                                       PRINTMAIL(1L)

NAME
       printmail - format mail in a readable fashion for printing

SYNOPSIS
       printmail {-p} {filename}

DESCRIPTION
       Printmail copies all messages from either the file  speci-
       fied  or  the default user mailbox with each message sepa-
       rated by a line of dashes.  With the -p option,  the  mes-
       sages are separated by a form feed instead.

       In  fact, this command is actually just a slightly differ-
       ently formatted call to readmsg:
            readmsg {-p} {-f filename} *
       which does all the work here.

EXAMPLE
       A typical usage of this command is;

            printmail | lpr
