    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.
