[MlMt] using gmail label tags in format strings

[David Rees]

Thanks! #tags works pretty well for submailboxes except when there are
multiple headers as you described. I created ticket
777<http://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672-mailmate/tickets/777>
for
that.

I also was able to get a tags column working, I pasted what I came up with
in ticket 374<http://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672-mailmate/tickets/374>
.
