#         When you do a PRINT in VMS mail, it sends the current message

You can set up print queues with job separation pages instead of
file flag pages. (init /queue /separate=flag ...)
Job separation pages always come out.
Another thing you can do on job separation pages is specify
any job name, which is useful for remote jobs from non-vms systems.

# and then redifines PRINT to send output to that print queue.  The
# problem is that MAIL doesn't seem to honor this symbol definition, which
# isn't too suprising.  What does MAIL use to initiate the print, and is
# there any good way to get a hook in there to do a redirection to some

I define SYS$PRINT as a system logical in systartup.com.
(for example, $ Define /system sys$print LP27, where LP27 is a printer queue)
The user can redefine sys$print to whatever they want..
