Or... if the local printer is on a nux machine that you have an account on and it has lpr or sililar you can get mutt to pipe the message over an ssh pipe (or sililar) and then feed it to lpr that way... that's the way I do it at work at anyrate... read my mail on a server the other side of the firewall and use 2 ssh pipes to get it to the printer. moocho fun :) Cheers, Brett
