- print body and header of single sent message
- print bodies and headers of collection of messages
- print selected text of a message
- print list of messages
- print message before being sent
- print with template (see comment below)

Print with template: basically, a way to customize how e-mails (or other data sets) print out. I might want specific headers to be printed, if I have a color printer I might want certain things highlighted in certain colors, and I might want to only print a certain portion of e-mails. For example, and this is gibberish not some printing script which presumably exists somewhere: <header bgcolor="red">from,to,reply-to,subject</header> <body>first(text,10)</body> <footer>date,time</footer> The header of each email would have a red background and contain the to, from, reply-to and subject lines. The body of the e-mail would only contain the first 10 lines of the e-mail. The footer of each e-mail would contain the time and date of the e-mail. This is simplistic - the real templates would have to be more sophisticated, but you get the general idea. This could be useful for printing a single e-mail, or printing a large set of e-mails (where you want to insure the length of the set is not too long).
