.SH DESCRIPTION

is a frontend to the
.I mp
PostScript pretty printer program. It uses different names to provide various
.I mp
options:

.PP
.I mailp
(and the associated programs) read each
.I filename
in sequence
and generate a prettified version of the contents in PostScript format. If no
filename arguments are provided,
.I mailp
reads the standard input.
.PP
.I mailp
uses the
.B PRINTER
environment variable to determine which
printer the output from the
.I mp
program is sent to. If this environment variable is not found, then it
defaults to the
.I ps
printer.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP

Instead of printing who the mail article is for, the top header will
contain who the mail article is from. A useful option for people with
their own personal printer.

Send output to the named printer. Otherwise send output to the printer named
in the PRINTER environment variable.

Send output to the named printer. Otherwise send output to the printer named
in the PRINTER environment variable.

files which have been specified on the command line, the subject will
default to the name of each of these files.
