If I print text mails out from mutt the seems ok too. But if the > mails has some incorrect wrapped lines (> 72 caracters) the lines are not wrapped on the output. What do I worng here? There's a PCL command for wrapping long lines: <ESC>&s0C (Untested by me, I use PostScript.) Your if-simple can send that escape sequence before the actual file. /usr/ports/print/enscript is a convenient text to PostScript formatter which wraps long lines by default. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
