email to PDF

[Sebastian Fischmeister]

Hi,

Although we're in the 21 century, there are occasions where one has to turn emails into PDF.

What's your solution to do so? I found muttprint, but that doesn't print utf-8 emails as they are all base64 encoded and muttprint doesn't decode that before printing.

Thanks,
  Sebastian

Since nobody has responded, let me throw out the somewhat uninformed
suggestion to check out what gnus users do. We already make use of much
of the gnus rendering infrastructure, so perhaps there is some chance of
reusing a gnus solution.

gnus has gnus-summary-print-article but, if you are looking for Emacs
based solutions, you can simply go with ps-print-buffer (or
ps-print-buffer-with-faces).  These generate a postscript file which you
can easily convert to PDF (on Linux, at least).
