The goal of this project is to have printed all messages to a specific email-address. There are mails with a PDF file attached and just plain ASCII emails.

We use a GMail-mailbox here. Add one or more filters to tags the mails you want to be printed with the label “to print”.

Now you can use the bash-scripts below to get mails via IMAP (using getmail) and look for attached PDF files (using munpack). Then you can print either the mail itself (use muttprint or a2ps) or the PDF-attachment (use pdf2ps). Of course you can use cron to run the scripts periodically.
