           Summary: can't print selected multiple emails
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jazz_johnson at verizon.net


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I would like to be able to select multiple emails and then print them all at
once by clicking print. But when multiple emails are selected, the print button
is disabled.

Reproducible: Always




I though I could work around this issue by moving all my emails to a new folder
and then archive this folder to a zipfile. After unzipping this file, I thought
I could use enscript or muttprint to print all the emails, e.g.:

unzip Archive.zip; cd NewFolder/cur; 

for f in *; do echo $f;
muttprint --paper=letter -p - -f $f | ps2pdf14 - $f.pdf
done

Unfortunately, muttprint prints pdf attachments as raw jibberish.
kmail prints emails nicely, but it's very time consuming to have to select each
email one-by-one, click print, set all print options (it never remembers your
preferences), and click OK.

So it would be nice to be able to select multiple emails and print them all
with one click. If that's not possible, would it be possible to expose the
print routine so that I could substitute kmailprint for muttprint?
e.g., I can view an email, "kmail --view file:`pwd`/722992"
so could I do something similar to print? "kmail --print file:`pwd`/722992"
