Mutt lets you pipe the message to any arbirtary command you like. Use the | key. For example, '|lpr<Enter>'. > I've read the man and info pages for pr and can't get it to word wrap. > I can truncate, but not wrap.

You might try something like: |fmt |lpr If that works, then you could just stick the sequence of commands you use into a script. *shrug* ===
