Advanced Printing: Mutt-Print
I very infrequently print email, but mutt-print is in my opinion a very
worthwhile addition to the mutt software ecosphere and I now install it
everywhere I use mutt. First download the mutt-print package (see section
5.2). You need to compile it yourself unless you're running
a Debian derivative like Ubuntu, and in order to compile I had to download the
iconv library and a Perl module, both of which were provided on my SUSE
install disks, so they're by no means obscure software. Unpack the TGZ file
and follow the instructions, and you will be fine. Mutt-Print uses LATEX and Perl to format the files that are sent the printer, and they are gorgeous to look at, little penguin logo and all.
