If you have the pipe command you can try this: Add this line in you .mailrc file: set cmd='lpr -P' and then when you have just finished reading a message and it is still the 'current message', type: pipe This is what I use for a quick print. From what I understand, if you want a to print a message other than the current message you must specify the whole thing. pipe 'lpr -P' good luck, -c -------------------------------------------------------------------- Chip Roberson ARPANET: csrobe@icase.arpa 1105 London Company Way BITNET: $csrobe@wmmvs.bitnet Williamsburg, VA 23185 UUCP: ...!seismo!gmu90x!wmcs!csrobe --------------------------------------------------------------------
