Take advantage of the opportunity to dissociate the processes
and email the order for real. Catch it with procmail or .qmail-alias
(depending on your preferences) and print it from there. You only
need to send that process enough information to find the rest
of the order, depending on how you store it, and it can then
process it and format it as you see fit, completely independantly
of minivend.
That being said, you can print directly from minivend too. We use
embedded perl in receipt page. But the email version is much easier
to debug. ;^)
