Export threads using a "nice" layout

Hi!

I'd like to export threads using a "layout" similar to the GMail one
used to print a conversation ("Print All" function in GMail), thus all
mails of a thread clearly piled in a single and highly readable
document.
I've tried SmartSave extension, it exports all single mail as
an .EML. I'm looking for a tool that convert an .EML file in a PDF or
HTML with a "nice" layout.
Alternatively, does exist a method to print multiple conversation on
GMail?

Thanks you.

How about using a "printer" that writes a .PDF file rather than
outputting to paper. It's called a "PDF driver" and there are several
available. Once it's installed, when you select "Print All" in GMail,
you can select the PDF driver as the output device instead of your
physical printer.

Re: Export threads using a "nice" layout

Hi Ken,

Thank you for your reply. I already use a PDF Printer, but the
problem is that I'd like to print (to PDF) more than one conversation
(something like 1600) and I'd like to do in a "one click operation" or
in an automatic way (using a script), avoiding to open thousand of
mails and click and click and click ;-)))
I wonder Thunderbird doesn't provide a feature to export conversation
(thread of mail) in a "intelligent" way as GMail does.

Thank you.
