How do I batch print my .eml files?

I am reviewing applications that come in the form of emails. I receive the files in .eml form and drop them into a folder-- is there a way to batch print them all? Ideally, the solution I am looking for is to somehow convert all of these files to PDF, combine them all into a giant file and print them all at once. Is there a freeware solution to this?

Why are they being received as .eml attachments? There may be something wrong with your mail reader, mail server or applicant.

You can install a PDF printer driver that is capable of appending to an existing PDF instead of always making a new one. At a glance, this one is a free download and has the capability; I have not tried it, though. I am sure the biliion other free PDF print drivers have this functionality too. So you can simply "print" your emails to the PDF file, and then you are done.

They're being received as .eml attachments because I think they are being highlighted in Outlook and being dropped into a new email message to be sent.
