Purpose:
~~~~~~~~
The YAM print mail function leaves much to be desired.  It doesn't print
page breaks, page numbers, headers nor footers, and it doesn't list
attachments.  This ARexx script fixes all that by printing selected e-mail
messages as plain text with:
- Page Breaks
- Left, Right, Top & Bottom margins
- Headers (optional size limit)
- Page Numbers
- Word-Wrapping
- List of Attachments


Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Copy PrintMail.yam to YAM:Rexx/
2) Assign it to the YAM script menu


Usage:
~~~~~~
Select one or more mail messages and invoke the script.

  Notes:
  ~~~~~~
  1) You can adjust the margins to match your printer (and taste) by
     changing line/page info variables at the beginning of the program.

  2) Message body text wrapping is assumed to be performed by PrintMail.
     Wrapping can be left to YAM by setting the variable:  PMailWrap = 0

  3) Limit the number of To and Cc address lines printed by setting
     variables  ToLimit and CcLimit to non-zero values.

  4) HTMLread for YAM (available on Aminet) is activated when PrintMail
     reads a message; either showing or canceling HTML viewing permits
     PrintMail to continue.
