Sure.

I would put it as print_command in .muttrc:
set print_command="~/bin/printscript"
Looking a bit more at your original question you would have
'printscript' looking something like:
#!/bin/bash
umask 0077
cat > /tmp/printing-mail-$$.tmp
subject=`cat /tmp/printing-mail-$$.tmp|formail -x Subject:|tr ' ' '_'`
cat /tmp/printing-mail-$$.tmp | a2ps -o - -1gEmail --borders=no --strip=3 |
ps2pdf - $HOME/Maildir/mail-output-$subject.pdf
rm /tmp/printing-mail-$$.tmp
For this to work right, you would also need to set print_split in
.muttrc, so the script is called once for every mail printed, if you
happen to print multiple messages by tagging them.

Not at all, it actually helps me get good ideas for a printing setup
for mutt. I haven't have time to get all the details down, but this
helps me get the pieces together in my head. I'll put something on the
web, once I have it down in script.

PS: There is still a need for lots of error-handling and other bells
and whistles.
PPS: I'd like it if you not put me in Cc:, I get my copy from the
list, and while I guess you did it with good intentions, it
causes me more problems than it helps me.
