[mew-int 2849] print-buffer and ps-print buffer fail in *Mew message* window

Hello,

I have noticed that when I try to use print-buffer or ps-print-buffer
inside a *Mew message* window, it fails with an error message such as:

  - "print-region-new-buffer: Text is read-only," or

  - "auto-compose-region: Text is read-only"

when I attempt to use print-buffer or ps-print-buffer, respectively.
If I want to make a quick hard copy of an email, I need to use various
workarounds, such as opening the message for editing, finding the file
containing the message in a new buffer, or opening the message
in webmail in a browser (how awful! ;-) ).

I am confused that the error messages tell me that the problem is
read-only text, as I seem to be able to print other read-only buffers,
e.g. Info page views.

Best regards,
Will Gardella
