It's impossible to save as files several emails at the same time. The action "save as file" works only when one email is selected.

A enhancement to support saving all the selected emails into a given directory similar to the "save all attachments" action would be very useful.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select several emails
2.Go in the menu File>Save as>File
Actual Results:  
The menu entry is disabled.

Expected Results:  
The menu entry is enabled and lead to a new window where the user must select the directory where to save the files. The filenames are decided automatically, using the default name of the "save as file" action.
