Batch Printing in OS 10.2, 10.3 - Email
Say you are printing out your email receipts from '03 for your taxes or correspondence from your long lost friend living in Madrid -- and there are hundreds of letters. No problem.
(1a) If you have the group of letters in their own folder in Apple's Mail.app just single click on the folder...
(2b) single-click on a letter in list to select it
(3c) type Apple-A to "select All"
(4d) type Apple-P to print them.
You'll see a flurry of print windows pop up and it will get to work. I've found the print center has a limit of somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 simultaneous letters - at which point you'll get an error message -- just wait for a few dozen letters to print then hit "ok" and you'll be able to carry on -- only refilling the printer. :-)
(1b) If you DON'T have your letters grouped (say they are all in your inbox mixed in with others) you can create a temporary print group by holding down Apple while you click from letter to letter. This allows you to skip over the ones you don't want to print (while holding down "Shift" will select everything from point A to point B (from the first click to the second click).
