Auto-Printing from Mail

OK, it's not green, but when you really want/need to print something and don't want to have to manage it until you get a chance to, then auto-printing is great. There are solutions available for Outlook. Mac Mail's fax preferences allow for it. Why not for email? Want to print from your iPhone? You can't. But you could send/forward an email to a special mailbox in your home mail.app so that it could be printed. Why is this so hard? Is it really AppleScript time?
Anybody have any ideas?

Forwarding everything to a specific mailbox would probably be the best choice, then having everything in that mailbox get printed. Too bad folder actions don't do printing as that would be probably even simpler.

That actually sounds like something that a lot of business users would find good use for when using iPhone (so that they didn't have to use their Crackberry any more).

So does anyone have a solution/script for printing everything in a mail folder automatically?
