  Queues a copy of the message you are currently reading (or have just
  read)  for  printing.   The file(s) created by the PRINT command are
  not actually released to the print queue until you exit  from  MAIL,
  so  that  multiple messages will be concatenated into one print job.
  The PRINT command can take optional qualifiers.

   Format:
