SYNOPSIS

       muttprint [options]... [-f file]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the Muttprint utility. This manual page was written originally written
       for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program did not have a manual page, but now I
       took over this man page in POD-format.

       Muttprint is a utility that formats the printing of Mutt and other mail clients like XFMail or PINE to be
       like the printing of Netscape Messenger or Kmail. It can print a little penguin on the first page and a
       headline on every page. Furthermore, it only prints the most important headers, but not the whole
       plethora of them.

       For detailed information about Muttprint look read the User's guide in PDF and HTML format at
       /usr/share/doc/muttprint/.

       Anyway, you have to put the following line in your /etc/Muttrc or ~/.muttrc:

               set print_command="muttprint"

       If you want to customize the settings of Muttprint, just copy
       /usr/share/doc/muttprint/sample-muttprintrc-en to /etc/Muttprintrc or ~/.muttprintrc in reliance if you
       want change the settings for the whole system or one user.

       Muttprint defaults to English language settings if the environment variable LANG is not set.  For example
       in a German environment you should set:

               export LANG=de_DE

       This can for instance be done in in your local ~/.bashrc. For a more detailed information about
       localization of Muttprint read the User's guide.

OPTIONS

       PLEASE NOTICE: This options override the corresponding settings in ~/.muttprintrc and /etc/Muttprintrc.

       And here's the description of all command line options (a descriptions of the settings in the rcfile is
       included in the sample-muttprintrc-en distributed with Muttprint):

       -h, --help
              Prints a list of all possible options.

       -v, --version
              Prints the current version of Muttprint.

       --print-locale
              Prints out information about the current locale environment and exits.

       -f file, --file file
              Reads from file instead of STDIN. Useful for some mail clients as XFMail.  If file is -, Muttprint
              reads from STDIN.

       -p printername, --printer printername
              Uses another printer than the default printer or the setting in the rcfile.  You can also print in
              file using TO_FILE:/path/to/file as printer name. If you would like to have the result in STDOUT,
              set the printer name to -.

       -C print command, --printcommand print command
              Sets the command which is used for printing to print command. Thereby the string $PRINTER is
              replaced by the specified printer name.  CUPS support could be activated by CUPS; alternatively
              you can specify any command that contains the string $CUPS_OPTIONS which is replaced by the
              options used for CUPS.

       -i file, --penguin file
              Takes file as picture printed on the right top of the sheet. file must contain the full path. Set
              file to off if you wouldn't like to print a picture.

       -x, --x-face | -nox, --nox-face
              Turns on or off the printing of the picture which was transmitted in the X-Face: header. Read the
              documentation for a detailed explanation.

       -t number, --speed number
              This is the amount of time in seconds which your printer needs to print one page. It is only
              necessary if you use duplex printing.  Default is 30 (seconds).

       -w number, --wait number
              Amount of time in seconds which Muttprint should wait between printing odd and even pages for
              duplex printing.

       -F fontname, --font fontname
              Here you can choose a nice font family for your printing. Possible are: Latex, Latex-bright,
              Latin-modern, Times, Utopia, Palatino, Charter, Bookman, CentSchool, Chancery, Helvetica and
              AvantGarde.  If all fonts are available on your system depends of your installed LaTeX-system.
              Default is Latex.

       -H, --headrule | -noH, --noheadrule
              Here you can choose whether it should be printed a rule after the top line on pages greater than 2
              or not.

       -b, --footrule | -nob, --nofootrule
              Here you can choose whether it should be printed a rule over the foot line or not.

       -S style, --frontstyle style
              Choose a style for the printing of the mail headers on the first page: plain, border (default),
              Border, fbox, shadowbox, ovalbox, Ovalbox, doublebox, grey, greybox. Read the manual for a
              detailed description of this values.

       -a headers, --printed-headers headers
              Specify the headers that should be printed. Separate each header with "_". Headers that are
              embedded in * are printed bold; use / for italic printing. If a header does not exist, it will be
              omitted.  The given order is the same as on the printing.

              Two examples:

                      Date_To_From_CC_Newsgroups_*Subject*   (default)
                      /Date/_To_From_X-Mailer_*/Subject/*

       -P paperformat, --paper paperformat
              Choose your paper format: A4 in most countries ("DIN A4" in Germany) and letter in the U.S.

       -e String, --date String
              This option accepts two settings: original and local. If you use original, the date will be
              printed unchanged as it appears in the mail header, i. e. in English and in the sender's time
              zone.  If set to local, the date will be printed in the local language and in the system's time
              zone. See the options --date-format and --lang.

              Examples:

                      original: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 21:43:49 +0100
                      local:    Dienstag, 15. Januar 2002 21:43:49
                                        (German locale)

       -E String, --date-format String
              This options allows you to change the date format (if you've chosen local before). The argument is
              a format string according to strftime(3), e. g.:

                      "%A, %d. %B %Y %H:%M:%S" (standard in Germany)
                      "%a, %d.%m.%y %H:%M"     (shorten form)
                      "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"      (ISO format)

       -A String, --addressformat String
              With this option you can set how mail addresses are printed. The value original does not change
              the header. Otherwise you have to specify a format string; following substitutions are done:

                      %r              name ("real name")
                      %a              mail address
                      \n              newline

              The default setting is %r <%a>,\n. Moreover, you can emphasize some parts with bold or italic
              printing. You have to enclose these parts with stars ("*") for bold or with slashes ("/") for
              italics.

              Example:

                      "/%r/ (%a),"

              The quotes are necessary because the string contains spaces. Otherwise the shell splits the string
              into two parts.

       -n String, --verbatimnormal String
              This sets the options which are passed to the Verbatim environment that is necessary to print the
              normal mail text. Detailed explanations are in the user's guide. Some examples:

                      fontshape=it           italic fonts
                      frame=topline          border above the block
                      fontfamily=helvetica   Helvetica font
                      fontsize=\Huge         huge font

              To combine options, you have to separate each option with a comma, e. g.
              fontshape=it,fontseries=b.

       -V String, --verbatimsig String
              Same as --verbatimnormal, but this sets how the signature is printed. If the argument is raw,
              there is now discrimination between normal text and signature.

       -D, --debug | -noD, --nodebug
              Choose whether Muttprint writes to a log file /tmp/muttprint.log.  Useful to ask some other about
              help if Muttprint doesn't work.

       -B, --background | -noB, --nobackground
              After reading from standard input, Muttprint runs in the background.  The advantage is that the
              you can use mail client immediately after start printing. The disadvantage is that error message
              could not be printed anymore. So use this option only if Muttprint works error-free on your
              system.

       -d, --duplex | -nod, --noduplex
              Enables or disables duplex printing. If enabled, Muttprint prints only odd pages and waits some
              time before it prints even pages.

       -2 | -1
              Prints two pages on one sheet as shown here:

                      +----------+----------+
                      |          |          |
                      |          |          |
                      |    1     |     2    |
                      |          |          |
                      |          |          |
                      |          |          |
                      +----------+----------+

              This feature is called papersave mode in the manual and in the rcfile.

       -g number, --topmargin number
              Sets the top margin in millimeters.

       -G number, --bottommargin number
              Sets the bottom margin in millimeters.

       -j number, --leftmargin number
              Sets the left margin in millimeters.

       -J number, --rightmargin number
              Sets the right margin in millimeters.

       -s, --rem_sig | -nos, --norem_sig
              Removes the signature (separated by "-- ") in the printing. This is useful for very long
              signatures. But more and more people (or mail clients) doesn't separate the signature correctly so
              this feature works not always, see also the next option.

       --sig_regexp Regular Expression
              Sets the regular expression (in Perl syntax) used to recognize signatures.  The default is ^-- $.

       -q, --rem_quote | -noq, --norem_quote
              Remove the quoted paragraph from the printing.

              Muttprint detects the quoting with the same regular expression as Mutt, so it should work.

       -z size, --fontsize size
              Specifies the font size. Possible values are 10pt, 11pt and 12pt.

       -W number, --wrapmargin number
              Controls how long the longest line could be. Longer lines are wrapped automatically and the
              paragraph will be reformatted.

       -r file, --rcfile file
              Specifies another configuration file, which is read additionally to /etc/Muttprintrc and
              ~/.muttprintrc. This file overwrites all other settings, including this one which are done by
              command line parameters. (It makes no sense to include other options despite -f if you use this
              option.)
