I was also dissatisfied with the "plain-text email printing", so created
an "action" (with a 'print' button) that put the email file through a
perl script to pull the text out of any mime-encoding, then pipe the
text to muttprint. 

Yeah, far more elaborate than needed, but at some point the frustration
in trying to coerce existing software to do what you want just motivates
one to "roll your own".
