The rewrite doesn't have the print function, altho if you check the 
accels.txt file, there's already an entry reserved for it.

The workaround is to save the post (presumably as text), then open it in 
your favorite text editor, delete any extraneous headers and attachment 
encodings you don't want printed, and use its printing functionality.  

But a lot of folks don't even have printers any more.  I know I don't.  
What's a dead-tree copy really useful for anyway?  I can see the 
handiness of a nicely bound book if it's big enough, but that's not what 
a printer outputs. I just read it, save it, forward it, whatever, all on 
the computer.  If I really needed to, I could print it to fax, and fax it 
to work, but why would I need to?
