236337 - ability to select headers to be printed while printing a mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 181527

(MailNews Core :: Printing, enhancement)

Description

[Jerome Quelin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207)

When printing a mail, Thunderbird prints the headers subject, from, date and to,
and then the body.
However, it can be very annoying if the list of recipients is big, because we
end up with a lot of paper wasted.

So, it would be nice if we can have the ability to select the headers to be printed.

The page setup currenlty only allows to change the format and the margins.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. select a mail in thunderbird
2. File / Print


Actual Results:  
the mail is printed with the list of recipients

I have to confirm for mozilla 1.6. Please implement the feature !

[Daniel Buchholz]

Yes, nice idea! And please seperate the selection of headers to be displayed
when reading mail from the selection of headers to be printed. Something like

View
  - Headers
    - Display
      o All
      o Normal
    - Print
      o All
      o Normal

I have the same problem in Mozilla 1.7.3. It is very annoying to have to waste
half or more of the page on headers instead of the actual content of the mail.

I don't think it should go in the "View" menu - perhaps "File - Page Setup"
would be a better place? That is where header and footer are configured for
printing.

Owner of this bug: This component should be changed from "Window" to general as
it is not a window problem, I think. Also, please change OS from Win98 to "all"
as I have this gripe with Win2k. Hopefully this will result in better visibility
for this bug.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
