Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Print a message in mh-rmail. You can use the "l" key to print a
message. The "l" key is bound to 'mh-print-msg.
What's wrong:
If you only print a one page message, the output is two pages
long. The second page contains only the date, the message number, and
the fact that it is page 2. This is bad because of the new print quota
system. Users cannot afford to have an extra page printed out every
time they want to print a message.
What should have happened:
There should not have been a second page. The fix is really
simple, actually. The elisp code for 'mh-print-msg checks to see if you
are printing a sequence of messages or one message. When you are
printing one message, it executes the command:
/bin/csh "mhl -nobell -clear <rest of the command>"
the "-clear" is putting in the extra form feed. The solution:
/bin/csh "mhl -nobell -noclear <rest of command>"
Take a look at
/mit/timo/consult/Emacs/mh-newprint.el
to see the change.
