How do I batch print emails in Thunderbird 24.4.0 (on mac)?

I recently installed Thunderbird because I need to batch print a folder of emails. Apparently, older versions of Thunderbird allowed this function; but I can't find this print function on 24.4.0. I also have not been able to find any batch-printing add-ons via Mozilla.

Does anyone know of any reliable freeware that will allow me to print multiple email conversations/threads at once?

Thanks

What if you could export a set of messages to separate text files, or a folder of messages to a single text file, and then print them en masse from Finder or Windows Explorer (File Manager)? That is possible if you install the ImportExportTools add-on.

PrintingTools has an option to "Print without the dialog window" that should be useful for batch printing from within TB - but I don't have a printer to test it.
