User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Right now printed messages from Mail/News and Thunderbird don't do much more than copy the From, To, Subject, and Date headers from the message source and print them AS IS preceding the message. However this is not consistent with the way the message is printed onscreen. The Date onscreen reflects your own time zone, but when you print it, the Date reflects the time at the location the message was sent from. For example: ONSCREEN Date: 11/19/2004 01:42 AM PRINTED Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 00:42:44 -0600 Onscreen messages also normalize e-mail names; for example, it will remove the quotation marks from [From: "Joe User" <joeuser@mozilla.org>]. For attachments, onscreen messages show only the filename, while printed message also display the Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding. Right now the printed layout for attachments is far too confusing; the filename should be more prominent. Also attachments on Windows display the appropriate document icon onscreen; this would be very useful to see when printing. All of these layout options that are already shown onscreen would be very useful for a printed e-mail message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See also Bug 14985, which recommends putting the users Account -> Your Name as part of the printed message (Outlook Style), and Bug 134492, which gave us attachments in printed messages in the first place. For ambitious coders, creating a whole new set of print templates would make printing more consistent AND prettier!
