If you prefer a flat-ascii, unformatted approach, you can simply pipe the
message through fmt before sending it into lpr.
Since you indicate that you can handle postscript, I'd recommend you take
a look at mp, though. It's a text->ps formatter that's designed
specifically to format mail and articles for printing.
ftp://ftp.NUXI.com/pub/misc/ or in /usr/ports/print/mp-letter (or mp-a4)
for FreeBSD.
I use set print_command="mp -content -from | spoolps.sh" in my .muttrc
and love it. (spoolps.sh is a local hack for my network)
