I generally use `mailp' (part of mpdist).

I'm using a2ps (by [email-masked]) to produce postscript.

I usually pipe my mails to

	a2ps -nH -nn -ns -p -1 -B -F10 | lpr

Then again - I hardly ever print anything.  ;-)
It's worth to take a look at a2ps - it has many options!

Well, thnx for the answers. a2ps seems to be good for start (at least
it's "Out of the Box" solution).

I was tring to pass some arguments to the printing command, i.e I want the
header to include the subject or the author etc. Tried few notations,
Pine's "filter" notation, %s etc notation, none have worked, any ideas ?

Can Pine at all "send" variable to commands like Print, Pipe etc. as it
can through Pine-Filters ?

Thnx,
  Naor
