DESCRIPTION
       The mailp utility is a frontend to the mp(1) program. It uses different
       names to provide various mp options:

       mailp	       Prints out mail messages.

       newsp	       Prints out USENET news articles.

       digestp	       Prints out USENET digest files.

       filep	       Prints out ordinary ASCII files.

       filofaxp	       Prints out in Filofax personal organiser format.

       franklinp       Prints out in Franklin Planner personal organiser  for‐
		       mat.

       timemanp	       Prints out in Time Manager personal organiser format.

       timesysp	       Prints out in Time/System International personal organ‐
		       iser format.

       mailp and the associated programs read each filename  in	 sequence  and
       generate a prettified version of the contents. If no filename arguments
       are provided, mailp reads the standard input.

       mailp works in two ways. With the -D option, it will work as an X print
       server  client  to  produce the PDL of the target printer and spool it.
       With the -d or -P option, it will generate and spool  PostScript™  out‐
       put.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -d printer      Sends  output  to  the  named printer. Otherwise, sends
		       output to the printer named in the PRINTER  environment
		       variable.

       -D	       Generates  the PDL for the target printer and spools it
		       to the printer.

       -F	       Instead of printing who the mail article	 is  for,  the
		       top  header  will contain who the mail article is from.
		       This is a useful option for people with their own  per‐
		       sonal printer.

       -h	       Banner  printing	 is  disabled. Most of the information
		       that typically appears on the banner sheet is output in
		       the mp banners.

       -l	       Formats	output	in  landscape  mode. Two pages of text
		       will be printed per sheet of paper.

       -P printer      Same as -d option.

       -s subject      Uses 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.

OPERANDS
       The following operand is supported:

       filename	       The name of the file to be read.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       If  none	 of  the -d, -D, or -P options is used, mailp uses the PRINTER
       environment variable to determine the printer to which the output  from
       the  mp(1)program  is  sent.  If the PRINTER variable is not found, the
       default destination is the PostScript™ printer.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       1	       An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES
       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       ┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┐
       │      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     │	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   │

       └─────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┘

NOTES
       The -P option, which spools the PDL directly to the target  printer  in
       mp(1),  produces	 PostScript™  when  used in mailp so as to be backward
       compatible.
