From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 BuildID: 2001112013 When printing a text mail message with the gtk build of mozilla mail, The message apears to be aligned for the font metrics of the Courier font, but uses the Times-Roman font. If there were any URLs in the message, the underlines extend too far, because the text is shorter when rendered with Times. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select a text email message in messenger 2.click print button 3.print to printer or file (doesn't make a difference Actual Results: message prints in Times using font metrics of Courier Expected Results: message prints in Courier using the font metrics of Courier When I press the print button, an additional window pops up displaying how the printed page would look (I assume this is an HTML rendering of the message, due to using the same printing code as for the browser). In this window, the message is displayed in a fixed font. If I edit the generated postscript (from print to file) to use Courier, the underlines for urls match up with the text, and things line up correctly.

Here is an example printout of a message with screwed up metrics. Running "sed s/Times-Roman/Courier/" on the file yields the correctly rendered message.
