Mail AppleScript - Print Email?

Hi

I have seen this mentioned/asked for a number of times but haven't been able to find a solution. Does anyone know if there is an applescript available that will print an email out of Mail?

Thanks,
Regan

Something like this ...


tell application "Mail"
 set msg to the first message of mailbox "INBOX" of account "Google Mail (imap)"
 set theText to content of msg
 set theFile to ((path to desktop) as string) & "mailmsg.txt"
 set theFileID to open for access file theFile with write permission
 write theText to theFileID
 close access theFileID
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
 set theFile to ((path to desktop) as string) & "mailmsg.txt"
 set newdoc to open (theFile as alias)
 print newdoc without print dialog
 close newdoc
end tell
