My print command cannot use "read -p"

Hi, I would like to have a print command that takes input from the user. But mutt pipes the message to the print command so I guess I cannot use something like read -p "where to save?" filename because read looks on STDIN and mutt already piped to STDIN. I am using bash. Any i

header for print command

Hi, what is the trick to get e.g. a From: or Subject: line into the header of a print command ? using something like set print_cmd="enscript | lpr" and I'd like to tell enscript to put the From: line into the header. Is this possible ? -- Johannes
