[MlMt] using gmail label tags in format strings

[Rob McClure]

Benny,
Tried the modification to display tags in columns as noted in the ticket 
site and changed the code you supplied to use two of my tags. I get the 
column in my display but don't see anything in the column, even after 
adding one of the two chosen tags to a new message. attaching my plist.
