Subject: Problem with dtmailpr
Hello Friends,
I am using the CDE on an AlphaServer running Digital Unix 4.0B. The
dtmail in the CDE works well except that we are not able to print any
messages. We have configured a remote printer (HP LaserJet) as the
default printer. We have also changed the .dtprofile to include the
LPDEST env variable.
I'm able to print from the other utilities of the CDE (Terminal, Text
Editor, etc). Seems to me that it's a problem with the 'dtmailpr',
the mail message print filter.
When logged in as super-user, i'm not able to print new messages (it
shows the filename as /tmp/mailxaaaabbc). Although, i can print the
messages after saving it into a mailbox.
When logged in as an ordinary user, i'm not able to print either way.
I have checked the file permissions and modified them too.
The print command seems to be calling 'dtmailpr' and then piping to
'dtlp', and the 'dtmailpr' seems to be the one that's failing. I
checked it out on the command line and it works as a super-user, but
not as ordinary user.
File permissions for 'dtmailpr' is
-r-xr-sr-x bin mail
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance.

Solution :
The problem rectified by itself. The only thing we did in the interim
was to shutdown and restart the Server.
Thanks to Charles M. Richmond for his help.
