Re: the workflow. It got me wondering if there might a way to use Automator to forward selected messages as attachments. The "Add Attachments to Front Message" is the only Mail action dealing with attachments and that accepts Files/Folders as input. And there's no action for saving messages to files. That's where I'm stuck. Or, maybe there's already some relatively easy way of doing it without Automator that I've overlooked? Anyway, a "forward-as-attachment" capability in Mail would be much more useful to me than printing multiple messages to save paper. :-) And it’s subtly teasing me to chuckle again now, appreciated for its unintended (since you said so) “it’s not meant to be funny so it’s funny” humor.
