I have a filter called "mp" which is a basic "pretty print"
program.  It simply takes input from stdin; wraps some postscript
around the input; and outputs the "wrapped" data to stdout.
For some reason (as of 7.1.0), this works fine when using the curses
interface but, NOT when using the sunview interface on a 386i running
SunOS 4.0.2.  The following (2) lines in my .mailrc seem to do the
trick - at least for the curses version:

set printer=lw
set print_cmd='mp | lpr'

Any ideas?

thanks in advance,

Michael
