Re: PATCH: a sensible default for a prettyprinter

My problem with this patch is that it would kill the old (ugly)
``prettyprinter'', whether tex2mail is available or not. The current
situation requires the user to define himself a decent alternate
prettyprinter in his .gprc.

So I'd rather leave the example in the default gprc, and the default \o2
behaviour as it is. On the other hand, I can check for a specific keyword,
e.g "yes" and interpret it as 'tex2mail' with sensible flags. This way it's
still easy to switch it on (provided it's been installed...) even when a
sample gprc is not available.
