DESCRIPTION
     mailp is a frontend to the mp PostScript pretty printer pro-
     gram. It uses different names to provide various mp options:

     mailp will print out mail messages.

     newsp will print out USENET news articles.

     digestp will print out USENET digest files.

     filep will print out ordinary ASCII files.

     filofaxp will print out in Filofax personal organiser for-
     mat.

     franklinp will print out in Franklin Planner personal
     organiser format.

     timemanp will print out in Time Manager personal organiser
     format.

     timesysp will print out in Time/System International per-
     sonal organiser format.

     mailp (and the associated programs) read each filename in
     sequence and generate a prettified version of the contents
     in PostScript format. If no filename arguments are provided,
     mailp reads the standard input.

     mailp uses the PRINTER environment variable to determine
     which printer the output from the mp program is sent to. If
     this environment variable is not found, then it defaults to

     the ps printer.

OPTIONS
     -F   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.

     -Pprinter
	  Send output to the named printer. Otherwise send output
	  to the printer named in the PRINTER environment vari-
	  able.

     -h   Banner printing is disabled. Most of the information
	  that typically appears on the banner sheet is output in
	  the mp banners.

     -dprinter
	  Send output to the named printer. Otherwise send output
	  to the printer named in the PRINTER environment vari-
	  able.

     -l   Format output in landscape mode.  Two pages of text
	  will be printed per sheet of paper.

     -s subject
	  Use  subject as the new subject for the printout. If
	  you are printing ordinary ASCII files which have been
	  specified on the command line, the subject will default
	  to the name of each of these files.
