>Description:
	The default behavior for nmh when viewing a message with
	an application/PostScript attachment is to 'lpr -Pps' the
	attachment.

	This behavior can be overridden with a per-user $MHN file
	or by editing /usr/local/etc/nmh/mhn.defaults after nmh is
	installed.  However, as a default action, (one which will
	be used by novice users) sending a postscript attachment
	to the printer every time a message is viewed at is simply
	a bad idea.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install nmh.  Send yourself a postscript attachment.  'inc'
	it into your MH inbox, 'show' it.
>Fix:
	The following patch adds a patch to the port to fix this:
