SCO Mail

Thanks for the recent responses via e-mail to my question regarding
re-directing output from SCO Xenix Mail.  

Of course, the answer was simple - utilizing the LPDEST variable 
effects the re-direction very nicely.  Researching the answer to
my next question revealed the LPDEST solution in the documentation, 
so RTFM did apply...

Now being able to easily re-direct, I find that SCO Xenix Mail, since
it pipes through pr for printing, sets the page length to 66 lines, or 
simply uses the pr default of 66.  My printer, a canon lpb8, requires
a page length of 62 lines...

Any suggestions on setting page length (NOT the page length of the 
visual device used for viewing mail) for mail command "l (pr)" ??

Again, e-mail responses would be appreciated to hold down traffic on
the network.

By the way, to those egomanics who feel it is imperative to demonstrate
their clearly superior opinions by making smart-ass responses posted
for world-wide distribution when I clearly suggested e-mail responses,
I hope that some day you achieve some level of responsibility in your
use of a valuable resource...

Thanks for the help !
