Hi Everybody!
I know, I'm not supposed to mail answers to this forum, but:
- We are getting our mail over x400 and not directly via internet
- The "acgate" that does the transformation from x400 to e-mail and
vice-versa isn't the most reliable thing on earth
- And hence we don't get the sender-information in the mail-header
- So if you don't put your e-mail-address in your actual text, I'll
never know who you are. :-)
But I have got an answer for ???. His post reads:

And the answer is:
:rp=text:\
instead of
:rp=printer.my.domain:\
if you want to print plain unix-text
and
:rp=raw:\
instead of
:rp=printer.my.domain:\
for everything else.
If you write anything else than text it will be interpreted as raw anyway.
Best regards.
