REPLY TO ALL feature of your email program.

Actually, Peter, you must specify a buffer size for each of the 3
printer ports, LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3. The min is 134; the max is 2048
bytes. Since I use LPT1, my CONFIG.SYS line reads:

PRINTMONBUFSIZE=2048,134,134

such that LPT1 has the maximum and LPT2 and LPT3 have the minimum.
Please see the configtool for more documentation.
