set abort_nosubject=no

beware: subjects are a netiquette topic. there's a reason because this
is the default.

i'm subscribed to over 150 mailing lists and get over 1700 mails a day.

mutt performs very well, even on not so speedy computers.

just give formail(1) a try. it should be delivered with your procmail
package. format your mbox with it and pipe it to lpr.

FORMAIL(1)   FORMAIL(1)


NAME
   formail - mail (re)formatter


DESCRIPTION
   formail is a filter that can be used to  force  mail  into
   mailbox  format, perform `From ' escaping, generate auto-
   replying headers, do simple header  munging/extracting  or
   split  up  a mailbox/digest/articles file.  The mail/mail­
   box/article contents will be expected on stdin.

   If formail is supposed to  determine  the  sender  of  the
   mail,  but  is  unable  to  find any,  it will substitute
   `foo@bar'.

   If formail is started without any command line options, it
   will  force any mail coming from stdin into mailbox format
   and will escape all bogus `From ' lines with a `>'.
