That is all very primitiv. Nice would be if Tom would aloud an external command to print mails. So we could include marging-set, heading, etc like can be done with a shell pipe command (unix) like this: print = /bin/pr -h "ELETRONIC MAIL PRINTOUT" -o10 -l72 %s \ | /usr/bin/lp -dprinter With DOS, similar solution would also be possible.
