MAIL PRINT — MicroVMS 4.5B
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.
