278114 - all headers are printed and can't disable this

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 181527

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Jansen]

Why can't I choose whether I want to have the mail headers printed or not? I
printed a short message yesterday, but it used 2 pages, simply because all the
headers were printed too.

I use the Dutch version.

I've found this to be an annoyance as well (using the US/UK English versions). 
There should be an option (I think default) that prints only the main headers:
Subject, Date, From, To.   That's all most people care about.

So the option should be Print main headers/print all headers. But if one really
wants, there could be a dialog that with Print All Headers/Print These Headers
with some checkboxes for Subject, Date, From, To, Sender, Reply-To, Message-ID,
References, Received, Expires (or Expiry?) etc.

Severity should probably be changed to enhancement

Comment 3

[Mark Jansen]

This seems to be a bug concerning the use of mnenhy and the custom headers feature.

So, this one can be closed.

Re: Comment #3
What "custom headers feature" are you talking about? How can I disable this
behaviour?

I had the same problem, and I have an interesting solution: if you install
Enigmail than you see only the "main header". Without Enigmail you have the full
header...

A related issue: when I forward a message, I also get all headers.

This is annoying. Most of the time I only care about the important headers.

Comment 7

The problem was that Enigmail (and Mnehny) need to get all headers (and then do some tricks to hide them). This was addressed in Enigmail with the introduction of custom headers in TB 2.0. In any case, it's an issue caused by Mnenhy and/or Enigmail, it's not directly related to Thunderbird.

I see this in builds without Enigmail or Mnenhy...
