I use a2ps to print from mutt (and the command line) under Cygwin.  See
the following for the details:

I tried urlview and didn't like it.  Instead, I use w3m (a curses based
web browser) to both autoview HTML and to run a browser inside of mutt.
IMO, this solution works *much* better than urlview.  You can find a
pre-built Cygwin w3m at:

Note that a2ps may expect likewise -- actually, I have never passed a2ps
a mbox file as a command line argument.  Although, I not sure how often
someone would want to print an entire mbox.  So far, printing one message
at a time or tag-printing a few has met my needs.
