Portrait mode (big letters) for small articles that fit on one page.

Strip all boring header lines!
Just leave the most interesting ones: From:, Subject:, Date:.
(Seldomly Organization:, Reply-To:, Sender:.)

No line count or surrounding borders needed.

Use a header when you want to hang it onto a board and make it descriptive,
eg "Job offer", "Important", "All employees read this", "Good joke".

When printing with command 'P' from within nn I use a subset of the following
to pipe to our laser printer:
	a2ps -nh -nn -ns -p | lpr
