I'm trying to make it easy to know which books in my library have been shared by email to the Kindle App or Kindle Device via the send2kindle service.

Things that I've tried

Metadata Plugboard - export to any device. This doesn't seem to be triggered by "share by email"
Auto Send Only Tags - This don't seem to do anything. I tried adding a tag a book to "trigger" share by email. And I tried sharing by email to see if the tag specified here would automatically be added. Neither worked. To be honest, the documentation doesn't explain what this field does, so I'm just trying things.

Is there a way to either

Have adding a tag to a book automatically share it by email?

or

Have sharing by email automatically add the tag to the book?

Either of those will let me know the book was sent by email, which is all I want.
