Is there a way to automate the saving to pdf part? I’m thinking
about this: I tag a message with a tag like ‘Print’, on received
messages or even while I’m writing a new draft, and that tag
triggers some script that opens the Print dialogue and saves the
message to PDF, in my Actions Folder.
Is there anyone who knows if this is possible or has some similar
workflow? Maybe a mailbox Rule that watches for tags and runs a
command?
It would certainly be possible to create a bundle command which is
executed when adding a tag, but the hard part is to automate the
printing. That is, you can easily send a file to printing using the
`lp` command, but you first need to convert the `.eml` file to
something nicer like the `pdf` file generated by MailMate before
printing. So, the missing feature you need is to be able to tell
MailMate to export a `.pdf` file instead of the raw `.eml` file.
Alternatively, see if you can locate some third party command to do
this conversion.
[enscript](https://www.gnu.org/software/enscript/) is a good tool for
this. I would love to be able to pipe email from MailMate to
``enscript`` for printing!
