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.
