What is the recommended way to pretty-print mutt emails? I found a sourceforge 
perl script called muttprint but that was last updated in 2008, and I was 
wondering what folks here recommended?


I use without problems muttprint 0.73 in Fedora from within a 
wrapper script, which removes spamassassin markings, converts 
to PDF using ps2pdf, and finally opens it with xdg-open for 
checking and printing using the regular dialog.

This works when used with this script that I found on stackoverlow (I think). I 
have not tried the other scripts but presumably they work too. 


!/bin/bash

read tmpdir < <(mktemp -d /tmp/print_preview-$USER-)
cd $tmpdir || exit 1

trap "cd && rm -fR $tmpdir;exit" 0 1 2 3 6 9 15

cat >file.eml
muttprint -P A4 -p TO_FILE:file.ps  1 )) &&
    muttprint -2 -P A4 -p TO_FILE:file.ps

zathura file.ps

I wonder if I can get a dialog that gives me a choice of 1 or 2 pages printing. 
Perhaps I have two scripts for that?


With zathura apparently not, but with evince (and possibly other 
viewers) yes.

Actually, good point, I can get this to work through the print option, and that 
is what i have now decided to do.

Thanks!
