This somewhat like how I have my logform set up. I have a drop-down
userfield called "QSL Method" which has Bureau, Greenstamp, IRC, and
SASE. This is not really the answer as you want to do this after the
fact, but when I'm operating I usually have the INFO window open which
will tell me if the QSO I'm working can go via the bureau. If so, and
if I plan on sending via the bureau, I just pick Bureau in the
drop-down list.
Anyway, when I finally get around to printing for bureau cards I just
print the Bureau cards using a Filter.

This is the best idea if anyone could do it. That's why I'm Cc:

Another interseting idea...
