I think current versions of PC-Pine work OK for either telnet or dialup.
There is even a sort-of-Windows version. I haven't used PC-Pine for a
couple of years, so I can't comment on details.

That's easy - There is a "Y" (for prYnt) command available while you are
viewing a message. You get a rather cryptic "Print-attached-to-ansi"
prompt, answer Y (for yes this time), and the printer on your PC should
fire up and spit out the email message you are reading.
