Printing Messages

Mutt hails from the line printer days, so on a Linux or Mac box, the CUPS print server or equivalent should be ready to accept messages sent to the LPR command. You should be able to just press the `p' key to print a message, assuming your line printer has been set up. The text printed lacks any sort of embellishment, which is fine for most but annoying to some. You can have additional printing functionality by installing the mutt-print package for your distribution. The mutt-print package uses the L^ATEX software on your Linux system to make printed email look gorgeous (see sec. 4.9).
