DESCRIPTION

       Filter converting TeX or LaTeX math formulae to ASCII art. tex2mail  is
       used by the PARI-GP calculator for output method external prettyprint .
       Under gp, prettyprint mode can be set by default(output, 3)  (or  \o3).
       By default, this switches gp main output to TeX format, filtered by
