3.4.4: Printing Your Mail

Normally messages are printed in the foreground. If this is slow on your system, you may elect to set mh-print-background to non-nil to print in the background. If you do this, do not delete the message until it is printed or else the output may be truncated. The variable mh-lpr-command-format controls how the printing is actually done. The string can contain one escape, `%s', which is filled with the name of the folder and the message number and is useful for print job names. As an example, the default is `"lpr -J '%s'"'.
