On systems without a working muttprint or equivalent, a workaround is to pipe the email to stdin of a program with good support (word-wrapping; pagination; choice of font) for printing plain text files. For instance, on GNU/Linux boxes with Gnome, while viewing the email in Mutt, press the pipe (vertical bar) key on your keyboard, and then type `gedit -` followed by <Enter>. You can then quickly trim headers to taste, and use gedit's printing options to choose your desired wrapping, pagination, typeface and font size, etc. -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: When is top-posting a bad thing? () ASCII ribbon campaign. Please avoid HTML emails & proprietary /\ file formats. (Why? See e.g. https://v.gd/jrmGbS ). Thank you.
