Hi Aaron.

It is a bug in the documentation, we have fixed it.  Thanks!

Mail(1) behavior of p command?

2008-08-04 Thread Aaron W. Hsu
Hello all, 

I am trying to use the mail(1) p command. According to the help that is 
printed out when running the program, it seems that the p command should 
pipe the message out to LPR and print it. However, it just prints the 
message out to standard output. 

Is this a bug in the program or the documentation? Or, am I missing 
something?

Sincerely,
Aaron Hsu

The print command does behave as described in the man page.
